to die is gain.

i'm so tired

seeing you fall again and again

with your outstretched arms 

and your hungry red mouth

that stretches and bends your whole face

and your face turns your head

and your head leads where the body goes

you are so hungry

so very hungry with your stretching arms

and how you fall

you dive you sink

you let it swallow you whole

and still you are hungry for so much more

you always will be

so hungry, so hungry

never satisfied, so unfinished

with all those empty spaces against you

filling your red, red mouth

that was so hungry

seeing you fall

hitting the dust and it curls

around you twisting its slender tendrils

into your soft hair and i watch

you fall in love again

i watch you die

behind my eyelids

i cannot sleep without you falling

i am so tired
