if I could only manage it, to die
right now
my life would be
complete. I know
that every moment on, from here
I'll bask in this
diminished glow.
If I
could only manage it, to stop
to keep
forever, just
for now
the world -
gone on without me
would be fine, I know. They'd get along
somehow. But
since I stayed, delayed
in hesitation, lingered,
lost -
convince myself, oh would you please?
This moment, slipped to memory,
is not the only one like this
that there could ever be, for me.
And I will find the cost
