Waves fill your deep turquoise
ocean eyes
pulling and
pushing me away.
Cataclysmic crashes
upon rocks
that threaten to drown us and
everything we are.
Swimming
swimming
pushing towards the surface
but I lost you in the chaos
and I doubt things will ever be the same when we find each other again.
Dull sapphire is the color
of the sea that I sink in
as you freeze to death in an ocean
of my piercing, icy stares
from across the room.
Now itʻs cold
so cold
as I shiver
water like tear drops drying in the brisk sunlight
dripping off of my body
through my hair that you once called so beautiful.
I slide down against the wall
huddled in my little ball of warmth
and feel my mascara run down my face
as you text me your
final goodbyes.
I climbed atop a cliff, standing
on the edge and gazing down
over the world I masterfully and
perfectly created.
It burns as I watch
helpless
the ashes settling like dust
over a former kingdom of beauty
stripping it of harmony and filling every building
every alleyway
with harsh tones of dissonance
nails on a chalkboard.
If I jump I fall
to my death.
If I stay here, I’m just biding my time
until the fire catches me.
There is no safe option
so why wait to die when I can just
get it over with?
What I would give to sprout wings
and fly away
from here, away from everywhere.
