I Think A Lot

by Carli Chisenall


I think a lot.
I think a lot about death.
The soft whisper of a soul,
finally escaping its prison of flesh and sin.
That one last exhausted breath.
Solace, at last.

I think a lot.
I think a lot about life.
It is everything and nothing.
A gift taken for granted,
A burden, a waste.
Gone as quickly as it came.

I think a lot.
I think a lot about love.
A reason to breathe.
A reason to bleed.
A reason to be.
