About the Book

Lye down upon burnt black pastures
Of blossoming red flowers of fresh cut roses and yellow tulips
That last no more than a life’s hour

I tried to keep laughing with them
At myself, and join em’
But my throat and mind became dry
Only then, I knew my escape would be suicide

Don’t slit wrists around vampires
They’ll suck flesh to bone
Or leave hair torn and without a comb
While organs and muscles become a new empire of stone

I was going to commit suicide because of them
Because of him
Because of her
Because of me

But now that I can see
What I have seen
I have realized
Life is too grand to ruin
Over my whims of them.
