flowers grow from your matted hair
as the earth takes back its luster
once blonde and fair you return to dirt
isnt it lovely how rot turns loss into
something living power in transmutation
fueled by putriscine and sulfur death
is so unfairly unloved as your skin
melts from the bone and we deglove
leaving the very core of us to weather
in the sun as romantic as it is offputting
the air is thick and wretched with the
greenest process known to us as cadaverine
and gases ignite the acids in our guts to
let our bodies rust with unbalanced bacterium
carbon back to carbon in another form
we are the best garden we could ever hope for
rich in nutrients and better than mulch
i will collect your darling bones and grind
them to downy dust to drink in a crystal cup
let you live on in calcium and phosphorous your
grave is a lovely place for nightshade maybe
one day i'll be lucky enough to take your place
vivat mortui vivat fortes love you for always

let me kiss lips as pale as moonlit stones
forgive me a bastard terrible at letting go
let me sob into your blood wettened clothes
my greed has let your pulse go cold lie to
me soak back your will assure me your
heart pulls strong tell me that your love
still holds on a dagger to the chest didn't
stop mine why do you get to let go i can't
let you leave yet i can't wind back time
your blood is cold and thick but maybe
i can change your souls course with the
aid of something that grows mycelium-
mycelium functions like a brain research
says it remembers the stimuli of its prey
i could be onto something darling let me try
let me see you one last time is it too much
to ask that you remember me that your
breath draws back into collapsed lungs

i'm no surgeon but i have sure hands
and you have marvelous brain for me
to implant don't look at me like that
through cataracts i'm not mad i'm just
a man i can't lose you i'm not prepared
is she an experiment to me do i dare

it was just a fight but now i'm scared
they say relationships have ups and downs
but this seems severe how did we get here
you stabbed me and it took a while to heal
but i wasn't mad it wasn't a big deal its not fair
i awoke to find you there what happened dear
you slipped you fell hit your head on a tomb
am i in hell maybe i can help you reawaken
relink your synapses maybe my godforsaken
blood can help you heal alas it's a moral
dilemma now a curse or a blessing i could
bring you back would i be saving or damning
and where is the consent here god damn you
and your life so fleeting my arms are empty
cold without you home this decision is much
too heavy to make alone wretched luck i
have somber guts cant leave you here i cant
make a cut afraid of my blasted luck

fuck fuck fuck is humanity so fragile
at least i can give your last respects

i'll make you a basket of willow create a moss
pillow to rest your head a soft earthen bed
i see you broken my love my vision is red i give
my own bones as an apology a bitter anology
a personal blessing regretful i couldn't save you
i'll notch my femurs into a cross protection from
this cursed reality i can't bare i'll welcome sunlight
my ash will dust your resting place a last goodbye
a funeral rite our last kiss feather soft eyes closed
i truly fucked it up maybe you are in a better place
yet always greedy my last thoughts are that i miss
your breath on my face roses will grow saintly in
your grave and in mine wicked nightshade poison
from my vein our true natures shown in our remains

people linger at a grave just long enough
to remind ghosts like me silence is unnatural
no flies no animals digging hungry- my bones sterile
mother natures rejection sickens me but it is man's doing
this dirt isn't real and the grass above my casket is cosmetic
graveyards aren't as romantic as they used to be
surround me in plastic and foam flowers,
conceal my rot from the earth
because it is ashamed

a thousand years of plastic
until it gives way to earth
everything does eventually
