We did not block that asteroid,
It hit my city, and took my head.
And my wishes have been reversed.
I wanted to float amongst the stars once again,
To go back home. However,
It seems they have come visit me instead.
It’s about time before it
Exploded anyways, the pressure
Was becoming too much.
I needed a space helmet
to live on this Earth,
And I’ve gone forever unequipped.
And now I fall asleep with the TV on,
Because I am no longer
Distracted by it.
The sounds, the light, mean
Nothing to me, and I don’t know
Which way I’d rather have it.
I hope you’d still love me headless.
I’d imagine so because it seemed liked
I never had one to begin with.
But you’d probably miss my hair, and freckles,
For now they are imprinted onto the cement,
Gradients of red line the block.
My memories are stepped through,
And carried with strangers feet,
And yet I don’t know where to guide my own.
So take my hand and lead me.
Into the woods where I want to hide.
I can not cry tears for my loss,
But my body will finally be at rest.
