Stop waiting the next life to be perfect

make a deal 

pacify future photographs
with the promise 
to strip away the rated remembrance shades

let the sunlight 
peel that inherited commodity of

bleeding is rebuilding

we're red cells
alive and breathing

hold on to the oxygen tightly and
send yourself down the viscous heartache

ending yesterday
it is a decision
