Immortal

A Poem for You

By J.M.T. DeggingerPublished about a year ago 1 min read
Peas in a Pod - JMTD

At nineteen I had already decided that death wasn't the worst thing ever

Even in a world with no God

Damn the things you took from me

Now I hear you whimper in your reams

And I pull you close until it settles

I know

I won't go quietly into any other

Goodnight
