pet cemetery
by Emily G Myersi did this
i have pierced
through your
brown, soft
leather
your shoulder
and left behind
the childish eyes
i said repeatedly
that i loved
but you never
believed me
and i can tell you
the name of
every single hair
because i did love
i do love
i can't stop loving
the curve
of every part of you
the soft soft
perfect
- i said it out loud in the shower today -
perfect
perfect
pink and brown
and wet
of your lips
i have killed myself
i am dead
i murdered us
and me and you
and i'm thinking of
talking to the devil
to see what he can do
to bring us back to life
i will bury us
in the cemetery
and hope we come back
because even wrong
even evil
even undead
i need our love
to stay alive 04/09/2006 Author's Note: because everything - even a horror movie we never got around to watching - makes me think of him.
