conclave to transpire eventually
peering upon yourself has
--- well will never be
an easy task.
in this setting, I’ve encountered my soul.
you have---
you witness this expiry of a lifeless; dead; tired of crying corpse
I’m an escaped soul tired of crying as well
--- and I’m over remains
and while your eyes are open
…your nerves dance…
dance of shock; which still lives in me
as if I’m still there
I’m glad you decided to stay here with me
Don’t ever forget that I’ll still be
---There, behind your loved ones.
Will you watch my sister fall in love?
I’ll watch your sister fall in love,
It’ll be a collection of stories worth waiting for ---
Body and spirit, as hand in glove
---perpetually
but you have plans of leaving me
and in due time we’ll reunite
on the other side
---the shinning silent; shimmering side
where body reunions with spirit.
And you’re getting cold now
You’re fading away now
I was in need of you
And I needed you
Now that labor is over
---I’ll wait for a better you.
one that’s dressed in white’s most immaculate, and
---not in a rainy, damp red, turning your skin into saturated, floppy mush;
sorry
thank you for your comfort, are you willing to
close my eyes?
