That wasn't a comment,
that was a statement-
and fuck you
for pushing me far enough
to actually want to make it-
I'd be better off just
shutting the book
and walking away-
and if I'd wanted you
to see me like this,
I would have visited you...
And now that I realize
the difference between abstract,
and outright stupidity.
maybe I won't come back tomorrow-
I fought the good fight,
but I'm not interested
in ever doing this again-
Sister, if you're listening-
They came for me today-
and I fought them off,
I found the second voice within
and screamed the words
that could scare them away-
and yet, I fell
though I'm not sure how...
between southern shore
and northern woods-
here I lay, staring at grey stone-
back to the cold damp earth...
and I want you to know
that I only sacrificed myself
so brother could live. |
