My Life and Other Sad Things

you give me a reeses

you give me a reeses
i thought it would be cute
to each take a bite of the reeses cup

that is pretty cute, i say

my stomach is in knots because i know its time to say goodbye

i put the resces down
and pull you into my arms

i've gotta head back, nana. itll be dark soon. you cradle my head in my hands, wiping away the tears

and i forget all about the resees
a insatiable loneliness carves into my heart
leaving me in empty

and-

i follow you
until were out the bedroom
i follow you
until youre out the door
i follow you
until you reach your car

you hug me
and then leave me
and i smile
because i am brave
all the while
my soul is still following
you down the rural road

you window goes down
and you declare to the heavens
i love you!

i am stillborn
unable to reply
as you fade from my vision

i love you.
