untitled threnody

  
write me out like a sad poem  

star-crossed lovers -
a romeo & juliet of dire circumstance
forlorn. abandoned in the ruins of romance

write in me the dismal, desolate streets
where sorrow is common & constant as the mariah

compose me across brittle & faded parchment
let my blood run in shades of the loneliest blues

scribble me unedited in a haze of drunkeness
when I should have remained unwritten
 
take your pen & shape me  
without rhythm. without rhyme  
blank verse that labors to be heard
 
call me untitled
