Three Course Meal
Eat me
Limb by limb
Joint by Joint
And I will serve you
Lick your lips with satisfaction
And I will smile
Go back for seconds and clean your plate
Take all of me
For I am yours
Funeral Tears
I will smile brightest at my own funeral
Ecstatic with the conclusory end that death brought me
You might dab your eyes with tissues like a love letter
a secret admirer
Speeches of praise sang in perfect cadence
not too sad or too sweet
I want you to reflect upon all your memories of me
and I am sick for this
A repulsive individual
my body deserves to be lost
I deserve to be forgotten
How disgusting can I be
to only see my own death as a happy memory
