TW: ✝️

////////\\\\\\\\\\

To whom it may concern,

You are hereby cordially invited to my grand departure from this intolerable crumbling world.

You are not expected to show, so there is no need to RSVP.

You’ve never been there for me anyway, so why start now?

The funeral will be a celebration of my moving on into the afterlife…

Yes, you read that right. I am already dead!

Of course, as you read this, I am more alive than I’ve ever been.

Do not pretend to miss me.

Had you missed me, you would have been there for my life. Do not pretend to yearn for me now that I am gone.

I do hope that you join me,

both at this event

and where I am going.

I want you to see the

joy on their faces,

as the dirt hits my casket.

They know that the grave

is broken for me.

Death was slain by the Life.

My rotting eyes will

one day fill with light.

Oh, God, that’ll be

one hell of a sight.

If you decide to show up,

look into the eyes of the Bride,

see the beauty and light within them.

Notice that she does not weep for me.

I say this farewell,

with the utmost certainty…

that though I had been found unworthy,

the Blood of that Most Precious Lamb

has saved me.

There’s nothing in this

world that I want more for you…

but that you would only believe.

With hope everlasting,

A Canvas Torn
