when the blood bleeds blue,
and the skies turn red

is when I know I've lost you
for sure

when the rivers run red,
and when the sun cries blue

when you fall between the cracks
do you always want to reach out again?

or maybe,

just sometimes,

sometimes.

you just want to fall further,
and let the void embrace you.

feelings are just like
viruses, and your anger
is so contagious

your crystal mask,
cut to perfection
radiates in the burning
heat, a bright beacon,
blinding, bedazzling

yet it is the very same crystal,
that is so fragile,
so see-through
your crystal tears radiate
in the transparent
rays

many are left in wrath
in the wake of Time's path

he seems a foe, seems like
Death's master

treat him with no respect,
try to get away with neglect

he will seem a foe, seem like
no other

but hold his hand, and take your
Time, for

he will be a friend, will be
not asunder

know him all the Time, embrace
every moment and place

he will be your friend, will
walk you till your slumber.

I would give the stars and the skies
to forget every memory, all the lies

I would give the sun and the moon
to remember how you left too soon

I would give the land and the seas
for every single thank you and please

I would give my time and my space
so long as I do not see your face

I would give my heart and soul
if only you would take the toll

I would give my love, all of it to you
every single drop of blood that I deem true

I would give my life. Every moment.
But I won't. Not a moment.

Not a single gaze in my eye, nor
a pleading word will change, for

when you said to me "Please don't",
was when my "would" became "won't."

head turned down, eyes lidded
cannot bear to look my own
eyes in the mirror
