Do Not Weep At My Grave
do not weep at my grave
you don’t deserve to apologize
may hell’s fire rain upon your sinful hands
may you weep
but not at my grave
not to me, for me, never to me
you don’t deserve to apologize
i don’t want to hear your cries
your pleas and your woes
your regrets
i don’t want them, keep them
keep them to yourself
let them fester in your guts
like maggots, like worms, like rot
you don’t deserve to apologize
do not weep at my grave
