burn or drown

cut me like paper and tear me from the page.

until the ink bleeds through

i used to be a page in your book

but now i'm the ash in your ashtray

you smoked me like a cigarette

until i burned out

and become mere trash on the roadside

one year and several months

burned away

i was that picture on your wall

now i'm just a broken frame

you picked me off like a scab

and the blood just keeps coming

and became memory

this is my last wish

to be destroyed in a fit

of self destruction

burning like gasoline on water

it's either burn or drown
