Should I sink in the winter, welcome another year?
Or should I rot on the top shelf of the day-olds?
Killing time, my breathing declines--
further analysis reveals an answer bundled up in common sense.
How is it alright to lose what you like over pinpoint jabs?
They toss me in the foreground,
recalling all the stories of a place they knew I hated--
well fuck off, four years, we're not associated.
Should I sink in the line dug by an empty pen?
I'd find its shaded side, then I'd sleep for the better.
Recalling colder days, so imperfect, preserved,
and how the stabbing of my actions led to thoughts of letting go.
How is it okay to have everything come undone at an inopportune minute, and how is it okay to never want to finish writing lyrics?
Yes I know, it shouldn't hurt that much but it hurt to me.
And I know that they should see me, hope the best, and leave.
Bury me--head to foot--forget my other side.
Bury me--I'll say I'm sorry, but don't let go--bury me.
