death is terrifying
but only because it is the unknown
we are always afraid of what we don't know
maybe that's why i can't bring myself to ask you
if you still care
or maybe that's why i can't swallow
these little round tickets to freedom
sitting in my hand
because it is unknown
and it is terrifying
but in all honesty
the unknown
of living without you
is so much worse
and it is unknown
what i will do next
because the one thing i do know
is that i can't do this
s.s
