Death-bed Flowers

I wish she would call my name

Give me someone else to blame

Other than myself

 

If only she could see my face

So my debts will be erased

In the depths of unforgiveness

 

How are we born so callous, so blinded

So detached from life

Yet fall in love by the smell of death-bed flowers

Radiant yet sublime

Death bed flowered

Covering death with life

Carcass's picture

But cut flowers are always on

But cut flowers are always on a timer towards death, much like us suffocating but a lot slower. Kind of cruel if you think about it.

I will speak for myself

I was not born callous.

This I know.

Soeaking for myself, again

Callousness is a learned reality

To the reality that confronts

A man (  living organism ) in their life ( span ).

KS

Other then that

It is all good. ( the poem )
