a lie

if you have reached

the end

hanging

know that there is

no answers in life

and worse

that

death is no answer

to reach like a baby

to the sky

*

after all i have had

i have only learned

that life is senseless

because it is incensed

with death that often

makes a lot of sense

with cancer

suicide

and a good, old life

that forgets youth

and all it had

while learning

*

i cannot promise you

that it will get better

because it may not

but what i can promise

is that it’ll go on

and so can you

maybe longer than it

to the place just before

the trees break and you see

the waterfall that was kissing

the air with mist of a summer’s day

that didn’t seem like it would end

and could only get better and

more promising
