5 Dead Friends Pt. 2

Death isn’t happy.

It isn’t funny.

It shouldn’t make you laugh.

Look at me.

Snorting and screaming and slapping arms because

I’m over it.

Grateful.

-

The deaths of friendships

That left me

A coward in my own house

Building castles in the sky

With all my far fetched thoughts

Of how it was my fault

-

It takes two to build

And when one abandons ship

The last one off isn’t a sore loser.

There aren’t any losers in

Something that was never a game
