adieu.

i’ve been mad at the world

since the day you died.

it melted my heart 

and cordoned my soul 

of corridors and courthouses

and everything i grew to love.

indescribable pain

urges of shame 

the mindless drain

and days of repeating the same.

under the starry gravestone 

where my feet slipped

and the scarred sky 

bright and forgiving 

just as you ever were. 

the day breaks 

the night lies in wait 

for the pain my stay will bring.

live with no mistake.
