Replacement

My world is blue once more

blue like the ocean

Blue like my eyes

Blue like her eyes

 

When I close my eyes

I am drowning

in endless empty blue.

 

I no longer remember

how I look like.

I stare into mirrors

trying to recall

where my face starts

and hers ends:

the girl you used to love

the girl you you still loved when I already loved you

the girl who I became.

Flowers

My world is grey.

From inside my room

I watch my life go by.

Passions bloom

like flowers

with deceiving vibrancy:

so full of life

though death is already waiting

in their shadow:

a darkness that grows

until it is all that is left.

I wonder:

if I stay here

inside

motionless

nothing will happen:

time will stand still

and the flowers will continue to bloom
