death Poems and Poetry

bittersweet

i'm dying the note said
and the other travels all
day and all night, drops
everything in that moment &
arrives quickly and sees that
the other is really ok. maybe.

-...we're all dying eventually.

that's not funny.

-some sooner than others.

what is wrong?

-they don't have a name for it yet. it's a new dis-
ease.

Cycle

Apple pies and
Butterflies
Sit on my window sill.

One of them is eaten,
The other is beaten,
Both returning still.

No matter the deal
They will always heal,
These are things you cannot kill.

So I close the blind,
And leave them behind,
To pick up my parchment and quill.

God

God if you exist, you won’t do this,
She is too young, far too young.
She has children, they wont last a day..

God I beg you please don’t do this.
If its life you want, take mine, I’m not worthy,
But she is good god, she prays and makes fast,
I’m the one who’s astray.

God, please don’t do this,
How many times do you want me,
To bow in your way?
One or a million? I surrender to you,
But please just give her one more day.
