[ Gravetender ]

By: futureasaletterbomber

a letter to love

the gravetender leaves a cross on the road.
I dress for stealth to cut your eyes out. 
leave only vertical cuts. 
lines you could not commit. 
this is the value of your life. 
what we both amount to.

asphalt fills with black pools when I drive away from home. 
Stress lights matches in my skull as despair makes for a heavy cold. 
I don't belong here. 
in a larger sense. dysfunctional. 
I never empathized with you more when you said you were broken.

she blinks

ill execute when i have to
ill drink when i have to
ill smile when im asked to
ill make friends when i have to
ill promise if i have to
my last words, ever such a whisper
ive always loved you for who you are
i mean it
make it stay
