I’m this fantasy I can’t deal with I’m the image of this god, we no longer believe in I’m a book of unwanted poetry, you no longer read I’m don’t rotate with the universe I enjoy the warm taste of morning left over beer I didn’t deserve to have I enjoy the smells of morning hair that hasn’t be cleaned due to weekends of thought conventions I don’t want this being the last thoughts and ideas you’ll have of me When you put flowers over my grave When you get tearful cause I did the leaving up to you When I finally figured out there’s a heaven for people who are committed to suicide A heaven only shit writers belong to I want better for the restless people I want those that believed in my love to not be so foolish I want my bed made by slaves I want a house full of women begging for my full attention If this earth is it If I watch from the watching tower As ants crawl over my hands as I write this Then I’ll be forced into happiness You dreamed up for me that night When we held each other Too close and the everlasting love I waited on become real for once How dare we dare the angels to protect us again Where can I draw the endless lies and lines Where can I become a dull beggar form of truthfully loving someone Where can I be The holder of keys That unlocked doors that fully just please Did Whitman sit writing so bravely alone that he knew nothing else mattered Did Robert Frost care, about the sciences of suicide Did Plath, really want out that bad Did Tennyson really need that many poems under his willful heart Did Emily Dickinson really want to be stuck home, alone and desiring that long burden of not being in love How do I fit in now With my modern day poems and heartaches and dreams I laze around and say this is the movement of the profoundly sad I shut out the world Only talking if there’s a ride to the booze store Down the blackness of the wells Again I drink until I felt like the unstoppable whale Stuck on the dry bench As onlookers and hero’s can’t do much for my death Again I go unloved Winter covers my faceless smile You had everything with me You have everything without me So one last time Hear me, I know you can Visit this and this is what appears You remain the ghost that sleeps So quietly in my heart |
