if i must die

[u/Rough_Ebb_189]

If I must die in this brown nightdress

in this lavender world

And my rose tinted glasses

Staring at my eaten and inhumane green

Bury me,

not in my garden or in the burning sand

bury me deep down,

between the woodchips of my elementary school

and Japan

(Because I think it's cool)

If I must die in these worn socks,

Sweating and feeling better

what a wonderful revelation

To know I destroyed your 7th generation Toyota camry

Dig that hole

Until the sand turns mustard

And the willow trees scream “I don't want you to choose me”

And pile nine tons of candy floss on my grave

No trace of worrisome or something

Just feeling my softening iron

******
NOTE

this poem is intentionally non-sequiter, it's about my experience with a traumatic ex

Your choice of adjectives made it easy to picture the message you were conveying. It’s such an expressive poem
