The Death of the Love of My Life
A Poem of Dying to Self
I was dead but lived!
A poltergeist by design,
and drop dead gorgeous.
**
I, of course, fought death,
but in the end was flouted--
a fine rose drowned.
**
I digress, and yet
continue just as lovely,
charming, perfect me.
Author's Note:
Written 7 Years Ago.
Original Note: This is written from the self's point of view who has been put to death via humility but thrives from the inside and plans her next escapade.
Additional Notes: I continually come back to this poem as one of my favourites of my early 20's. Thank you for reading!
