R.I.P.
Rest in peace, my most prized possession
It shall remain in pieces
Not only has it died from the lies
But from the lessons that life teaches
Calls sent straight to voicemail
Messages still unanswered
I glance at the pictures for the last time
And then watch the flames become a dancer
Abandoned with loneliness and despair
I think of all the times in the dark
Painting a picture of how perfect we could've been
I remember once again that I loathe art
Even though I promised it wouldn't
The war left me questioning your love
If I had all the things the perfect wife had
Explain why I still wasn't enough
Rest in peace, my most prized possession
Its debt will live on your doorstep
Its ghost wil haunt your dreams
Its whispers will echo in your head
I pray that its blood will never wash off
I hope when you swallow that guilt, you choke
For destroying the most important part of me
For assuming I would take it as some sick joke
