when you are ready

I'll be here
with open heart
and open arms

but I must
stay sober
I must stay
sane

I didn't ask
you to come
you volunteered
you asked me
and then you
retreated

but pandora and
her box have been
opened up

now what are you
going to do?
just leave them here?

OK, but here is
where we'll stay
so when you are ready
come and see
if we're still alive
we'll be here
if we are dead,
please have us
composted.
