Not your ghost

the end of a haunting

Before you leave

Set me free

Return each piece

Lay them gently

At my throne

Atone for your sins

We both know what for

Your gravity

hit my floor

made me sure

You’d be the end of me

---

Paint me, your easel

Return my colors

Mix watercolor

Over my bruises

Make my gray, beautiful

Take my picture

against the sunlight

Its rays dance

without hesitation

---

Leave me better

Than you made me

Like an untouched bed

Fluff the pillows

Make her seem inviting

Arrange the flowers

by the bed stand

Grab your boots

Clean my pacing

Leave no trace

of my unmaking

---

Walk my hallway once more

Then lock the door

upon leaving

Never return here

It will be your last evening

No longer your baby

No longer bleeding
