dead to-you

Old friend



There is a difference



Between leaving your past

behind



and speeding past the destruction

left behind you



Between burying your dead

and those

you've only

wounded



Dead

and dead-to-you



To-you

one and the same

but it was never yours to say.



dignity belongs to those

with hearts still beating

-though broken now

and bleeding



Strangulation 

like a strange-you-congratulation

Surprise!

your hatred

now out

of the closet



But no one died

so it wasn't abuse



To-you



Bury them anyway

And don't forget

confetti
