skeletons dig up their own graves
to bring themselves back alive
why is that the living
are mostly the ones who want to die?

cracked bricks on the alleyway
of her childhood streets
graffiti spelling out her mother's name
in black and white spray paint
gray puddles made just for her
by god's laughing tears descending
down her way.

how lonely can she feel?
and how much can she take?
her orange turtleneck kept her desolation
locked in her heart
the fabric strong enough to keep it in
as she latched on her red skirt
ripping the side in half.

oh no, she's crying gasoline again
get the fire
she wants to burn in the flames
in peace
leave her be
her soaked eyes
will dry up tomorrow
just leave her be.

don't feel lonely,
it's almost halloween
she told herself
with her chin up
as she walked
the bleakness of
yesterday's weather
feeling ever
so tender.
