Closure
I changed
the locks
on our place
.. yesterday
I was
physically
and metaphorically
changing
the locks in
the place
I live inside
unchaining
The hold
you had
on me
Then
readjusting
my safety
So you
couldn't
roam free
Coming
and going
inside
my head
protecting
the soft spots
that are
now cemented
with the
epitaph
that read
You once had
a place
inside
my head
But now you
don't have
the key
because now
you are dead
take that
place
You
once had
inside
my head
and
dig a hole
then
shovel dirt
over it
then
walk
away from
that
burial plot
and
breathe
a sigh
of relief
and think
to myself
now im
eternally free
because
you don't
have a key
and
now you are
dead to me
(Omg try to write with a new puppy chewing your toes)
