i keep breathing just enough

so that the air within me moves

or pushes out the twitching stuff

to keep my head from stuttering

and the words I don’t want to hear again

from muttering

i am shuddering

shutting down

wearing this heart break like a crown

or a gown

made of steel and stone

exposing a bitter and breakable bone

speaking simply monotone

you died alone

all contact with outside systems is short

this mission cancelled

abort

and tears are turning into acid

the way your blood did

this fever is flushed in my face

our history

before me

patterns i begin to trace

with eight years parallel

always dashed and metered

measured mostly by jokes

and cigarette butt smokes

clashing clothes and crooked teeth

three years older than i

      you arrived like light

as if from the sky

thinking with two combined

into one mind

our lives intertwined

kept close by fate

but now

too late

dead gone

vanished into a friday night

forever

did your body fight

your chemical fix

didn’t you know

you’re not supposed to mix

those things like that

no

where was your head

boy

this must be a mistake

no one was prepared

this is foreign and fake

this wasn’t what was planned

so

take it back

come back
