daylight robbery

why is everything you write

every line, word, and phrase

crafted oh so terribly and grimly?

don't worry yourself about

my melancholy words

and the shifts in my mood

chasing dopamine tricks, no,

I write love letters to death

at least twice a week

although, sometimes more,

see, last night I wrote three -

but the thing about letters and paper

is that they always will be

the best of two choices.

(i flirt with Death, while

you steal from the hearse.)
