Every expectation sits on all ten finger tips
how do you even
grab
one

I will die
and you will die too
so will the rich man,
the poor man,
the sad man, and
the happy man
everyone dies,
but that is what we have in common,
death is what we have in common,
common man.

I've noted that for most of my life,
I've said too much,
I've wasted too much breath on pain,
so now I choose to rarely say anything,
Silence is enough weight.

For every man who has fallen,
there is a woman who has kissed his feet,
so she marries the ground,
and the dirt,
and the earth,
while all of you look up,
wondering how you became so brave,
and handsome,
with your lipstick stained cheeks.

You can hold something empty
But it’s still empty

I am not supposed to be here
I am supposed to be with you
So please make it quick
Take me with you

How dare the day keep going on
How rude
Don’t the sun and the moon
Know you died
Can’t the earth hear me cry
Why is it still spinning
Why does every day still
Go on
