My escape from unrequited love |
My shaking whispers, a final farewell, I can no longer stand, My trembling hands fall numb. Fear shines in pale sparkling eyes Shifting in quick awkward patterns While cold tears leak like melting ice. Surrounded by a swarm Of glossy vacant bottles, Echoing long lost hopes and mysteries, I lie in my escape. My insecurities A gaudy bracelet hanging on Thin wrists while I whimper Through dry swollen lips. I’ve fallen limp, Every breath a strain on A heavy broken chest. I hear the deep resounding thuds As my sluggish heart begins to dwindle. It pumps a thick river of crimson Through my labyrinth of veins. Then as my blue eyes fall gently closed The gold clock hanging on the wall Ceases its rhythmic ticks. Outside of me a gray December sky Blankets the world in a frosty glow And millions of sparkling memories Fall as flurries of snowflakes. The frigid winds, numbing to the flesh, Leave icy trimmings of diamonds Strung along bare branches And corners of rooftops. Miles and years away she shivers And he puts warm arms around her, Pulls her close, and lays an angelic cheek Against her cold silken skin. Together their clouds of breath Rise into the air as one And red lips find each other in the dark. The birth of his bliss Was the death of my courage. |
