Bitter Vestige

I'm what remains.

Disparage the ruins
Cremate the soul.
No matter how hard you try
No matter what you erase
Glue sticks hard
And I’m the strongest kind.

Disappear with a force.
Come with a fight.
Grant me this last amusement.
Grant me your last eulogy.
Reluctant
Is just how I want it.

Say a soliloquy
Under your breath.
Nobody needs to hear it
Nobody but this banshee.
Bring it forth
For none of them to see.

It’s a knock on the door
A rattling of chains.
A whisper to the (un)dead
A whisper to the (de)void
Skeletons
Are just the catalysts.

Author's Note

Exhaustion and boredom: a dangerous combination.

You should be bored and exhausted more often... emotional stuff. Nice work.

Ok, stop scaring me�why are you bored. Those are not words I expect out of a talent like you�alright, watch endless hours of bender�I like the structure of your poem but not the message. The ring of depression has golden rule. And I'm sure you understand why. What would Jinxy think�

It's a good write, one exception, Jesus said "You can kill the body but never the Soul". Good or bad you will live with it forever. Thank you for the nightmare. God Bless you.
