I Need to Die With You
the morbidity
so cold I dare not inflict
it's invaded my head
it's foul stench suffocating
death and carnations
the ground so cold
I'm down prostrate
my body losing heat
I have to do this
letting go of death
by embracing death
why did I look
for now I can't forget
mud under your eyelids
packed up your nose
your face so bloated
I brought you my dress
the one you loved so much
although too small
they said no worries
they'd split it up the back
to shroud your corpse
what the Hell is wrong with me
to even go to this place
not just a fleeting visitor
I've come to stay
it wouldn't matter if I wanted to leave
for there's no longer a door
so many people come to see the dead girl
and feed on my pain
fucking nasty vultures
I can't hear them
I have grown scales over my ears
petty comments, Ignorant fools
in an hour
a day a week
on our birthday
the holidays
they forget us
Oh how I envy
sweet fucking oblivion
I have never hungered for anything to compare
I run into your fiancee often
everyone tells me his wife favors you
he whispers a greeting in passing
his wife doesn't like him talking to us
I understand her, really I do
heavy burden
living in the shadow of the dead
but the really fucked up part
it's become my domicile
so cold I dare not inflict
it's invaded my head
it's foul stench suffocating
death and carnations
the ground so cold
I'm down prostrate
my body losing heat
I have to do this
letting go of death
by embracing death
why did I look
for now I can't forget
mud under your eyelids
packed up your nose
your face so bloated
I brought you my dress
the one you loved so much
although too small
they said no worries
they'd split it up the back
to shroud your corpse
what the Hell is wrong with me
to even go to this place
not just a fleeting visitor
I've come to stay
it wouldn't matter if I wanted to leave
for there's no longer a door
so many people come to see the dead girl
and feed on my pain
fucking nasty vultures
I can't hear them
I have grown scales over my ears
petty comments, Ignorant fools
in an hour

I've added 3 themes that cry out to me within the depths of this spill
OK to spill as many times as You need
just don't stay in this quicksand

She was my fraternal twin sister. I wrote "Why Not Me" as a precursor today. It may give you a little more insight into this piece if you would like to read it.

Oh I did put a few in their place believe me. I became bitter and belligerent about for about three years. I mean she died at 18. I turned 19 alone less than a month later. I've always kinda had a chip on my shoulder about being called "Cute" or "Sweet Little Thing". Those were descriptors of her personality. But we were completely polarized. I was rebellious, sneaking out at night, drinking and the list goes on and on. Now I can still feel that anger seething in me. I almost feel out of control.

I understand this feeling somewhat. I really feel your pain. I was injured & that injury took away my mom's will to live...her meds, health..everything was gone. I've always felt guilty plus not being able to remain her caregiver towards the end..heavy burden. Many hugs & peace be with you. Nicely penned too.;)

Thank you Pandora. I'm sorry to hear that. The guilt can eat you alive. I've been terrified to even look at it for way too long. I was even afraid of sending it out there. It's been compartmentalized down deep. I had to move things around to get to it. It left a hole for sure. But I'm just going to try to keep leaking it out little by little. Sending love your way.

Very much so. I invested " tough love " that was uncalled for as well do I know how regret of those words hurt too. Sigh

The test of a good poet is their ability to write well in all different genres. You are one, especially when you put your heart and soul into it. Personal poems are always more powerful when you've been there and done that.

Excellent scribe :-)))))
