I wish you'd write me a eulogy
I'm so tired of being just an afterthought
A careless doodle on the margin
Wrecklessly forlorn
On some days it doesn't matter
But on days like these
It seems so utterly important somehow
To matter
I don't often peg you as a sentimentalist
Far from it
But darling, even Hades fell for Persephone
Or so I like to believe
Swirling into the wintry mists
Like a foggy remnant of promised escapades
I whisper your name often into the night air
Hoping to catch you unawares for a brief moment
I wish you'd write me a eulogy
Even if it's a lie
Perhaps the adieu will hold the words of affection I so craved to hear from your lips
Let the ink bleed the unsaid lies
Betrayer hunter fool
Romanticising death as the future threatens to tear us apart
I wish you'd write me a eulogy
