nothing.
a black empty sky.
a silence that consumes sound.
an endless nightmare
where I watch
the face
the world
that used to be mine
slowly fade
disappear
leaving me nameless
in a nameless world.
nothing.
a black empty sky.
a silence that consumes sound.
an endless nightmare
where I watch
the face
the world
that used to be mine
slowly fade
disappear
leaving me nameless
in a nameless world.
I dream
our feet cold
breath freezing in the arctic air
silver laughter suspended in the dark
fingers laced tightly
and in the sky the Earth distant like a star
my heart pounds wildy
but as I reach for your lips
I remember
you are only a dream
his face once beautiful
now grey with lost charm
like the winter sunk into his skin
and stole all his warmth
words fall from his lips
so heavy
the air can’t hold them
they shatter on the ground
splinter
and pierce my heart
“I cheated on you.”
an echo that remains
inside me
long after he is gone
around I feel the world
grow colder
and wonder
if this year the winter will last forever
alone
in the dying sunlight
a fallen girl
who allowed herself to dream.
although she knew better.
now she waits
almost patiently
for the darkness to take root
to grow
around and inside her
once again.
she wonders
almost as an afterthought
why she had forgotten what she had always known:
Happiness is transient.
