Death
the ice coffee I snuck in late  this afternoon red wine I drank with a robust spaghetti sauce not until it was time to sleep my eyes regretted not being able to close mind riddled and running wild with unlaid plans fanciful schemes memories mostly hidden from daylight revelations leap out from the dark shadows with every toss and turn grudges lain bare with my uncovered legs my only hope of absolution remains in the desperate hope to exhaustedly dissolve  into dreamscapes where regrets are simply keys to opening doorways to subconscious delusions that  make some sort of sense there because you tell them to

Regret
some say that death is a fate not worthy of even the cruelest of killers yet here I am waiting for the sweet release of death from this world which has left me only in pieces and in pain

the death penalty for me
you say, 'be careful with yourself' i feel my hands shake and I reply, 'I don't know how'

don't sleep, you'll end up dreaming
for who could learn to love something as broken as me

i never expected you to fall for me
I wish we would go stargazing so you could see constellations, while I admire the one right next to me

stargazing (at you)
if i said "i love you" nearly as much as i said "i'm sorry" maybe we could've been something.
