It was 2016, I was 17





I lay outspread
  like Mary on the cross
  gripping you to me
writhing
crying
forgetting it all again
till the next moment I feel
Something close to real
again.
crying
running
I’ll get
out before
anyone can stop me
leave this earth
by dissolving into
  the dirt
  decomposing
like a dead tree’s
poem to god

  It was 2016
near the end
when I screamed
for you to leave
then wept
when you
were gone.
