the disappeared
bury it for later
bury it completely
the neurosis kicks in gradually
as you try to compute the tragedy
oh, how I want you to disappear
never to be seen again,
I’ll dig you up when
I reflect on all my past regrets
those I can’t forget,
I’m giving myself a reason
to be addicted to something,
my dreams where never harvested
they remained unpicked for a season,
festering for no reason.
trodden into the dirt, under foot,
my time’s over,
my life has come and gone,
all I can do is hang on,
and through the fog
of 1000 prescription pills
I can pretend I’m not ill
