Don'T Weep

Pull this pin out of my heart 

And throw it so it explodes

Let the blood rain down

And the pieces break down to nothing

Because that’s all I was in the beginning




When it’s all over

Take the ash in your hands

And think of me when it blows away

I’d rather die with you holding my heart

Than to be laid to rest where it is left

To rot in my chest

It always belonged to you, anyway




No time for last words, 

Just put your lips on mine

Don’t forget to let go when I’m slack

Lay me back

So I might see the stars

If one shoots, let it hit my chest

Caress my scars

Tether me to the sky

So I can fall gently

Below the ground where I’ll lie

After the ash blows away




Here I lie! Now I die

Confused and alone

At loss of your arms- my home

Condone my passing

My love, I’m asking

For peace of mind

Before I die

Only you have ever been able to calm my thoughts

I’ll be caught in death

Less you lay me to rest

Beneath this canopy of stars




Do you remember when they shot for us?




My love, my dove, my everything

With love and sincerity and all that is left of me

Reflect the best of me

And swear you’ll never forget this

-Here is my last kiss

Placed delicately upon your cheek

Don’t weep




Love thee,
-s.c.n.
