use my bloated corpse
as a boat
to traverse these moss choked
waterways
let me do that much for you
one last bold sacrifice
in a long string
of meaningless gestures

god knows in life
i did nothing worthy
of your
attention deficit
just dug deeper
into anonymity
a burr inside your wet socks
at best

i should have tried harder
to convince you
of my love
instead i rolled over
showed you the soft bits
so you could stab
with casual disinterest
on repeat
