mother

one day i'll do it
maybe never
maybe soon
tell you all the things to make you whole
those things i took away
to give you the whole wide world
you're that piece of me that breathes for me
and i die daily
eternal asphyxiation
enduring annihilation
of me
so you
can breathe
the want in me, i let it starve
in hopes you'll gorge on life
the exceptional beauty of every second of you
i kept from me so you might see
it all in you
you're the best of me, all that's left of me
and if my dying lets you live
you live for me
