Some people just look better dead

by Desdemona Sinestra

Cancel the wedding
Burrow into the bed

RSVP eyes
A moonlike pallor
Agent Provocateur

And my family is worried about me

Empty sentiment
I stopped bleeding
Because my blood is frozen

Happy Holidays
Maybe after the autopsy

You've got a real knack for condensing thought. That title is killer (sorry for the pun), so much to relate to here in life's hopes and dreams, sometimes smashed to smithereens. Thanks for this.

"And my family is worried about me," That line ties it all together. It explicitly unravels the entire story. This poem hits the page with a force. Nice Read.
