Dear Death
I'm a failure
So I must come back home
Go find a place to rest my bones
Maybe at the bottom of a well?
The moonlights all I need when
Creeping shadows drown the air like filling lungs
Where my graves shallow
I'm surrounded; water and stone
Well I never said I wasn't afraid
But I'd rather not
Wait in this skeleton; It's just a cage
Stay in this doomed place
Leave me out beneath the willow trees
So I'll never be alone
Relaxing as I decompose
Laid upon a golden bed of leaves
The fog it blankets me as I watch branches dangle
Swing in time with lullabies sung by a choir
That's comprised of ravens and ghost
Well I never said I wasn't afraid
But I'd rather not
Wait in this skeleton; It's just a cage
Stay in this doomed place
This is not a good bye
This is me not saying anything by saying far too many things
I am convoluted in my own being
No one would argue me that
Leaving no regrets although I've left things unsaid
Perspective and relativity; two things that define my meaning
Constantly re-appropriating my self for everyone's convenience
I am blame shifting to keep my self at a safe distance
Stitching words into existence to justify all my reasons why
Right or wrong
I am not saying good bye
I am just saying
This is what I needed to do
