Thrice

They say death comes in threes And love has killed me three times. I am Lazarus and Odin, I am Persephone But I won't come back this time. Yes, I could fly But I like the sinking. I sink like Osiris, I am Lemminkainen Dionysus has seen death and couldn't stop drinking I am too drunk to follow Truth's direction I can't make it right, I'm all that is left I was whole and can bring charges to some for theft And ask for the life of the one responsible for my death Who has denied me thrice in one breath. I'll be honest, my lovers maimed me but I committed suicide I'm not as strong as Mother to spring back from winter So don't look at me and decide I deserve life My crimes are heinous and death still too good for a sinner
