They wonder how she does it How she lives dreams knowing there will be no happy ending How she smiles back knowing their teeth are merely dams that hold in their speculations See, some days, it crawls up my sanity… bending the bough of my mind at the roots Come… Come closer to me and feel what breaks Feel what shatters here while it consumes Feelings transformed to fumes that choke life from limbs rip breath from lips and collapsed lungs… Come… Swallow the death here Taste its marrow and fiction I wonder if Death can keep its promises If it can really embrace all of me Or does it have the human trait of imperfection? Will it forget to hold me forever after this courtship is over? After it knows every cell attached to this frame? After the climax of my end, will it continue to revel in these walls? No one will ever know how I wish this were true How I long to keep Death here How I wish this tragedy could end with me, and never touch another life This would be my happy ending But who ever said life would be a fairytale anyway? -Melanie YeYo Carter- #diaryofadayumpoet
