One of us was innocent.
It was the only thing
I knew
Closing in
you choke
me
My stomach
falls, leaving
dust behind
A crash in the
sky, it lights
as fast as fire
And you don’t smile.
This confuses me.
My mind muddled
in a million memories,
I’m buried deep
And I remember
you smiling.
Aren’t you supposed to smile?
But you leave my
questions unanswered
I’m falling
flailing
flying through a mist
Where you linger
ever longer,
we’re even stronger
than before
But a tiger with its back to me
was suddenly transformed
It turned around
claws outstretched
Ready to snatch my soul
Snarling a reality
straight into my face
Without any warning
the monster appeared
I tell myself
I should have known…
A Venus flytrap
Enticing me
Turned on me at the
last moment
A flower, faking its rainbow
finally faded to
crackling coals
Needless to say
They don’t keep me warm
anymore.
I grew up fast.
After that.
