18. crumpled and consumed

I have uttered the wittiest words that

someone could ever be heard,

indeed, rest is what they found in me

Would it be too much, if I ask

to be kept folded like a sheet

instead of being trash?

Life has taught me silly things

if I am loved with perfection

these corners wouldn't be crumpled

in just a mere three seconds.

It's getting hot in here

though I crawl for freedom,

fire is consuming my soul

My body is starting to vanish

like soft ashes, blown by the wind

flying here to for, no direction at all

Would it be too much if I ask

to be kept folded in your pockets

'Til I offer you again, a little bit of rest?

Thought water gives life

that after the rain, a rainbow arises

yet I couldn't see hope

this damp surface is getting grayish

I've melted alone and scattered

instead of a flower's fragrance

Smoke is all I can smell

Would this be too much?
