You came
With happiness,
Hope.
Silly unfunny jokes
That suddenly
Made me laugh,
Not just laugh- tummy cramp laugh
You came with love
Made...
Giggles through her throat
Not her stomach
Painted in make-up
Trying to make it up
For not looking as good the last time
You were insanely...
Six feet beneath the soil
Lungs clogged with no oxygen
and she, she could not breath..
Her heart was filled with
Seconds of nothingness...
I could of easily
Been who you wanted me to be
Sweet, gullible
"yes, please sir" and
Thank you for the gift
I could of easily
Been who you...
The difference between,
You and I is that
I see myself as simply human
And you my dear, see yourself
As a dinner meal .
