Never perish without a light

There is an illness inside every cellular smile

A starved bird flying over your engraved stone, soon to be nearer

A shadow not yours, a shape so formless

A haunting reminder, you were never really in this

So short I shall stay, but do I linger like light forever thereafter?

In the mind, but nowhere in sight

Here I will miss, soaking in the tub of this warm womb water

Eat and sleep

Be overweight and underpaid-no surely not that!

Was I more than a lovesick lonely hider?

The faces will wash in as much as they will slide away

A watered down family tree

Another switch, another flame, more ashes to add to the urn

Too tired and drained

Enslaved

Why art thou not next to me?

Mercy for me when I fall to the frailest of condition

A secret of mine, held in a blood red ceramic dish

Implanted in the chest cavity

Please don't let me die without your company!
