she was where heaven is

she was where heaven is.
____________________

the taste of ash was
better,

when love held firm,
and her
arms felt timeless.

but..

i  knew there
was no chance
at Forever.

(because i haven't
learned where heaven
is.)

see..

i broke my shovel
digging for it...

and a whiskey madness
burnt my soul...

till I found little
more than Golden
Shit.

(and a never-ending
hole.)

+++

there's little use waiting
for some profound
transition...

for i've found my "self"
in a paupers grave which
teaches richer souls to
breath..

accepting of Heaven
and Hell's Position!!

( yet aware that both
do thus deceive.)

+++

the thorns of love
felt better...

when hope held firm
and her arms were
timeless...

but...

I ruined the possibility
of Forever.

(because she was
Where Heaven Is.)
