is it truly death that you miss
or the sweet release of it
honestly darling
get your head straight
hollow laughs only fill so much
more than shredded smiles
at least dead eyes still see
and at least broken hearts
still lay in a chest
still beating
a cavern of lost dreams
i may be a vessel
of the hollow and shredded
and the dead and the broken
but at least i’m a vessel
darling you don’t miss death
you miss everything
that came with it
