How I live determines
much of how I'll die
—like how I build bridges
from the ashes I collected
when I burned them down

I am known to smile
at first times and
kill people with my tongue
when I leave

I always complain
I'm alone but I'm too picky
to even stay for a while
and I leave just when
it gets good

How I live determines
much of how I'm going to end
—like how I chip at my old self
believing it would get me
to where I wanted to go

I am known to smile
and shut my mouth
until the storms build up
and I explode in hails
of knives to inflict
unhealable wounds

I always complain
I'm alone but I'm too used
to the presence understanding
my existence—something
nobody but me could do
So, darling, how I live and talk
determines much of how
I'm going to die and end
—that's quite possibly—
discarded, forgotten
and alone
