You spit me out
Like a necessity
Like a volcano
Impatient
I adorn your paper
Resplendent
Beau­ti­fied with ink

In a moment of indiscretion
You grow blind
For­get­ting me
Strike through
Death knell
Maybe you are lost
There­fore, los­ing me

In a moment
I fall through
To the nethers
Glo­ry in tatters
Once desired
Now despicable
Scrib­bled out

The birth
The cause
Of the death
To live
To die
In the same breath
I was alive

Scrib­bled me out
Dis­fig­ured me
But I remain
On the page
Hap­less reminder
You had want­ed me
Even if for a brief moment
