Don't Be My Ghost

She expected me to never forget her,
I realize I never will,
but the least she can do for me
is try her hardest
to live another life
that doesn't claim my identity.

She told me, no matter what,
it would be forever....
but I know the call was chasing me
like golden beer bottles
left on my front porch-
I can't take away the sun's
thirst.

The war following me
as I am falling
behind nuclear chemicals.

I can't be caught.

And now that it's spread
past my feet, my ankles,
my chest,
my heart is already too deepened
with the sickening smoke of sulfur.

She will never hear my goodbye,
she will never witness my last
I love you.

For me, it will be never-

because I can't be saved,
I will never be home again,
her heart will never feel
its fluttering against my pulse.

And all I hope to send down
is a white angel
that will make her memory
end the world,
her heart must never desire
to recognize someone like me again.
