Bloody droplets stain the sleeve

Just go, just go, just go, just go, just go!

Leave me

To stay

To rot

To be free of you



Why won't you go?

Must I

Break my promise

Lift my hand against

What I had fought so hard to protect?


It is for the best

I am

too selfish

too reckless

too arrogant

too manipulative

too controlling

too prideful

too much...



Green fades

To bruised Pink

Then solemn Blue

Dips into strained Yellow

Then wavering Purple seeps out at last

Remaining is the waning, Red



I want

to bid you goodbye

to say words of love

to encourage

to be the Good Big Brother

The eldest


But all my contrary self can do

Is spit out barbs

reside in sullen silence of my own creating

turn my back on your parting

hurt you with furious fists

Acting as the

Eternal child

Who never learned to accept your "No"



My old beloved saying

I am them and they are me

Is finally

Irreversibly

Broken

I have never been you

And you all

Thankfully, oh so thankfully

Have never been me


I'm

Suffocating

Why can't you hear me?

Why don't you save me?

Oh,Please...

Don't leave me
