The talk of the town
never talks to me.
I get shot down
every time we meet.
And we're two lovers lives,
entwined at sea,
unraveled,
untruthfully.
--
I'm laid to waste
in the rabbit hole.
I wanted to run
but I lost control.
So I can shut my eyes,
and hold them close.
The end of
everything I know.
-
Haircuts and tulips.
My view from the grave, 28th of May,
the date and time is 5:12.
Drugs three times a day, wash it all away.
I don't mind if
I don't see the end. I just need a friend and
reassurance.
I don't need advice. Please stop being nice.
It was not about escape.
Running from the cops, hiding from my fate.
I told myself.
I'm stuck in this place, trapped inside this face.
Looking on overhead
you'll see everything I have, etchings on the slab
with my name and my time,
but until that final day,
wash it all away,
in Yemen.
