Years fighting,
Years trying,

Yet hearing every word they said.
It couldn’t be worse for me or them. 
Expect my death, and pray-Amen.

child of hot rods and whiskey
unsure bellowing at nurses
defines a life of loudness,

Burning a painful death,
Taking in my last breath!!!!

is the certainty of dying of love, 
but living with it even beyond death 
since death does not exist

do know
the dying crane
has it spoken in to
in to your brain
so what of the sticks

Dying

Controlled to extremes
Unable to move
Without you leering at me
I slowly starve of reality
Of air
Suffocating
Drowning

Premium Member Dying To Meet Women

There once was a man on the beach
Hoping for women to meet
      To try to look thin
      He held his breath in
And passed out dead at their feet.

Same lips bring 
Smile and laugh 

Some are living letting them to smile 
Some are dying letting others to laugh 

Same lips bring

I Wish It Could Have Been Me Dying

My heart whisked away after your death.
My soul couldn’t handle the disaster.
You were so gracefully perfect.
The way you walked.
Your sweet voice.
I miss
you.
