THE END OF ME

lauren lange

Goodbye moon
Goodbye stars
Goodbye places that reach far into my soul
Goodbye light
Goodbye this winter cold
Goodbye to all the falsehood I’ve been told
Goodbye trees that grow so tall
Goodbye world
Here I fall
Here lies the end of me
Maggots eating excessively
Upon my rotting flesh.
