Cascades and Caskets

I open my box of memories and it is empty…
Except for a few painful shards.

Tell me good night, tell me good-bye.
And burn the pictures of my face.
I cannot bear another plight.
I cannot bear this disgrace.

No more thoughts left,
All my poems are a waste of paper.

Do you really think it’s proper
To stab me at the dinner table?

Like the bouquet worth a days wages
Laid on a hundred year old tombstone,
Is your scripture quoting lips
On your aberrant and immoral face.

And if you insist on killing me with a pitchfork,
I’d rather not die at all.

I feel the same way about writing sometimes...what a waste of time. Sometimes that is when the best comes out of you.

This feels like controlled chaos to me. I liked it though. The one resolution at the end was perfect though. :)

"And if you insist on killing me with a pitchfork,/I'd rather not die at all." Muahaha, nor would I wish to die that way. This is, as glass said, a beautiful gem. And I, as well, welcome you to DP and hope you stick around. *Evangel*
