I could live up to promises
or I could only pretend to,
either way there will be regrets
as I lay atop white sheets
and take my final breath.
I could seek out a priest,
but I’m not so sure he wouldn’t crawl into bed with me
if I asked him to.
I keep looking for answers in black and white
but have only found muted circles
of orgies and virginity
clouded into one.
Surely fate will have its way with me
as I dream of silver linings
instead of gray, dull regret
on the day I rest my muddled head
and let out my final breath.

Dressed in white

On white sheets she lay

We sent for the priest

But she sent him away

She’d had enough

And let us know

Of everyone else’s way

She had her own way to go

She left in a breath

We said “good for her!”

While we acted out of love

We see how sorry we were
