I’ve lost 4 people. I wanted to submit to a poetry sub, but they’re too strict. If it’s shit, I’m sorry.
Post Body

I am sick of losing friends.

Seeing them fall to a deluded fantasy-

The drugs do not work to cleanse.

I will not forgive your blasphemy.

Your body is a fucking temple,

So why are you trying to destroy it?

I can not make you reassemble

From broken parts at the bottom of a pit.

Depression is a fucking bitch,

So I don’t know why you still hang with her.

I don’t know why you want to be found in a ditch,

I don’t know why you want your mother to be a connoisseur

Of burying her god damn daughter.

Get your shit together.

I am sick of losing family.

I don’t want to speak to another preacher,

I am left to clean up the remnants of tragedy.

I didn’t want your death as a teacher,

Yet I refuse to believe your death meant nothing.

I hate speaking about myself, but I am what is left.

I am what is left, to show that I am not bluffing

When I tell the world of the greatest theft.

The world, losing you, was a fucking crime.

I am forced to bore witness to what is lost.

You were taken, far before your time,

And it is us left who pay the cost.

I can’t bear to lose your grace, so please

Get your life together.

I am sick of losing myself.

I want to believe I am doing better,

But I can’t just leave you on the shelf.

The meaning of a dead letter

Is that it can never be delivered.

I can never tell you what you meant,

Or that I can’t find my way out of this blizzard

Without your guidance to show where you went.

Your memory alone means we must carry on.

It is still snowing, but I find your memory to keep warm.

Perhaps it will melt away with the coming of dawn.

No matter, I will survive this storm,

I won’t stop pushing through,

And I’ll get myself together.
