I didn't write about my last partner's suicide

Nor the fact that he shot and killed his dog

As well as our 5 month old pup

before he turned the gun on himself

 

He had called me after we split

Which happened months after

he hit my face with his palm

My bloody nose wrote that song

As he burnt my art that was on my wall

 

I got the call after the show

They told me he'd done it

I still don't know

As I saw people who knew

They had seen him in truth

5 weeks after they said he was blue

 

 

....

 

(I just can't finish writing this truth)

I will probably delete this.

This is important work. Great

This is important work. Great artists don't flee from reality, they dissect it in all its stark, unsparing truth and turn it into gold that might remind others they are not alone. They pry open our consciousness and force us to peer into the abyss because only through darkness can we know light. You are a survivor. That alone is a brilliant work of art. Yes, this is important work. Be proud.

Perhaps

The past several years was kind of like a psychological thriller. I use humor as a coping tool. Plus gratitude. Because even in the depth of it, I always knew...this story was prewritten. I'm just living it through.
