untitled threnody

  
write me out like a sad poem  
 
star-crossed lovers -
a romeo & juliet of dire circumstance
forlorn. abandoned in the ruins of romance
 
write in me the dismal, desolate streets
where sorrow is common & constant as the mariah
 
compose me across brittle & faded parchment
let my blood run in shades of the loneliest blues
 
scribble me unedited in a haze of drunkeness
when I should have remained unwritten
   
take your pen & shape me  
without rhythm. without rhyme  
blank verse that labors to be heard
   
call me untitled
