Beating these worms to sleep

* Another poem I wrote about the suicide of my boyfriend in 2008

Worms

You left so sudden

Without a letter,and nothing

To explain the reasons why

Why you thought we didn't care

Why you thought you couldn't share

All the pain inside

You came to me when you fell

And I told you to go to hell

And you did

So here lie

Blaming me inside

 Wallowing in a sea of agony

Twisting and turning

My insides are burning

Like larvae feeding from the kill

Feeding on my soul

Making me less and less whole

Until I'm done

Done with this fight

And I begin to think your right

To have taken the easy way  out

It's so easy to beat

These worms to sleep

So I do

But something is holding me back

Like I'm missing a small little fact

That maybe there is hope

You say forgiveness is key

To end the suffering

So I slowly let go

And I give the burden to you

And you lift up in time due

Because I know you still love me
