How to Drown Gracefully

[sellaredrom]

by the candle lit desk
suicide notes in a broken flask
absent minded melody from the grinning boy's lips

could be another master plan
he might even muster something unlikely
a proverbial breakthrough
the perfect lie

If he tries to connect
When the flood gates give their last
Peace marring the foundation
We'll call it her mask

Nothing was ever the priority
Just bringing in the new authority
Let her soundly believe

Trip and bowl over the insecurities
Molding fit for his dying beliefs
