Dark Shades In The Box
I rest my head next to yours
Our eyes meet instantly
Even though those same eyes collided
Interfered and despised
Mine gave signals
With no response
At first those eyes glistened with sun
But you decided to buy some shades
And even though you tried and tried to fill your body with sun
Eyes never lie
And those burns stayed
I held your hand one last time
Cold at touch
Cold at heart
Nothing radiated through it
Even though your sun was right next to you
Lying in a bottle
I ached watching you leave
Help was right at my fingertips
But did I want to reach for you
When your sirens weren’t ringing
For me
I retracted seeing you finally lifeless
But ease swept upon me
Comfort was inevitable
but cold was nature
I got up
But I swear a plastic bag grabbed me
l-le let me free
You can still see, you’re absolutely fine
It whispered
So cheers for the next 1000 years
Until I can face the sun without garbage
But for now
Let me clean up
Bottle in one hand
Pills stuffed in the pocket
You will never know
