write me out like a sad poem

star-crossed lovers -
a romeo & juliet of dire circumstance
forlorn. abandoned in the ruins of romance

write in me the dismal, desolate streets
where sorrow is common & constant as the Mariah

compose me across brittle & faded parchment
let my blood run in shades of the loneliest blues

scribble me unedited in a haze of drunkenness
when I should have remained unwritten

take your pen & shape me
without rhythm, without rhyme
blank verse that labors to be heard -

call me untitled
