walk-in freezer
i left you a souvenir
will you come back around?
i didn’t realize we would be gone forever
the child doesn’t know any better
gifting but not listening
callous all around
i try to stay out of the cold
but i forget to breathe
then i’m clawing at you for air
i’m sorry
it’s a bit much for anyone
but i’m jealous you can choose
and repulsed when you choose me
(why not something easy?)
my head is full of mirrors
bouncing thoughts to kill the time
i calculate how i give to you
but i don’t know what to do with you
i can’t see you
the life i’m used to
so i draw the line
and spruce up the closet
a cozy death, surrounded
by wrapped presents
easy
