Eggshells
Collage & poem 2026 & 2016

He said, “God sent me an angel and I tried to kill her.”
But I know, babe, she was dead along time ago
Maybe not the first time it happened
Maybe not the second, but soon after, I’m sure
Don’t blame yourself, babe
You only tried to kill what was left of her
And it wasn’t much
It’s not so bad, I say, You don’t “remember” what you did anyway
He said, “God sent me an angel and i tried to kill her – Now I’m going to hell.”
And I know, babe, but I gave up everything to save you from hell, now go on and live your life well.
