because it may make us weak


because it may makes us weak
we bathe in our own sadness
since death is only once, complete
done with, once it is done

and in those eyes
the same simple color as mine,
i could not find a moment
a simple gesture, lingering
one small thought of sorrow for her

change makes people go
scream ramped on not being the same
and we welcome it, because we love it
the gossip

and that hair, the same smell
it might as well have been from my own head
burned to ash, left in dust
left in pain, burned for the wind to carry
carry away from the scene of the crime

we love to reminisce in all of it
roll in the splendor of the news
take it to heart and wear it on both sleeves

and that skin, left charcoal colored
taken away from the milky content it was born with
all because little boys like to play with matches
all because it may make ussss weak.
