| Please be courteous and do not steal my poetry... We are all grown here, so let's behave like grown people. Criticism is always appreciated! - Minor Eating Disorder mention.:
As I sit here and recall the beeping Of a monitor left to a hospital bed I remember your horrible question: "What will you do, my love, when I'm dead?"
I have gotten worse for the better And better at that which is worst My nights are lullabies and night terrors But the sound of your voice is always first
If you must know, yes, I have eaten Eaten my pride and my tears and my pain For each vertebrae poking through my skin You can tell I've lost more than I've gained
You asked me to remember you always When there wasn't any need to state twice I have gambled my heartbeat with Death And it's my turn now to roll the dice
Through a phone I sang you to sleep In the background, your mother was weeping And I still recall your horrible question Even now, that the monitor's not beeping.
