`--' `--'
Spent a lifetime teetering between
drowning and dehydration, clinging
desperately to keep from being
swept away while starving for what was
yet to be; then just before blooming,
of realizing my potential,
without even an object lesson
in all that birds and bees and hearts stuff,
cut off like some freaking chicken head.
Hope bitch fate cuts herself on those blood
rusted scissors, gets tetanus, dies in
lonely, agonizing, writhing silence.
Well, I can dream, if nothing else while
washed and wrapped in dainty formal green,
surrounded by wreaths of baby's breath
I sure the hell wouldn't have chosen
anymore than this thin and pretty
useless white box in which I've been laid.
Oh, please, can the tears, you soppy twit,
and tell the jerk there beside you he
can shove those inarticulate grunts
of ersatz sentiment where the sun
doesn't shine. Neither of you ever
knew me, I'm no more than your prop for
mutual ego masturbation;
an empty pre-coital ritual.
Let me wither in peace, okay? No
more poems, no more exclamations
of undying love, no more wistful
smiles; and while you're doing the dirty
ignore me as by soft music and
flickering candlelight, I decay.
Forget me, by all means, my beauty
and remember not my thorns, I pray,
when comes the time to throw me away.
