Chapter 16

   And you thought you could get away with murder.

             Somehow,

      I don’t think you meant

         to bury me alive

                (it’s too easy to hide dirt underground),

    even if I am just another insignificant being.

       I never really enjoyed this temporary life

                  in a fast paced world.



             You’re moving too fast.



      One day later

and my life’s still for rent.

         I’m not irritated that you’re not interested,

    just discouraged that I couldn’t

  live up to either of our expectations.

      It only hurts

                       when I breathe in

                  your disappointment-

        

          and that’s really the best kind of awful.
