Cheap flowers in the sink
A card with lies cast in the bin
Beers are frosting in the freezer
Shivering next to the ice cream
I scream
You scream
The neighbours bang the wall
A framed photo whizzes past my head
A family behind shattered glass
I turn to leave
Insults fly
I want you in my past
Exit hysteria
Outside another world
The curtains twitch across the street
What are they looking at?
Life?
What have I become
Sirens in the distance
Run you idiot run
Door crashes behind me
I spin to see that maniacal grin
Thrusting your fists toward my gut
Something sharp breaks the skin
The world slows on its axis
Just like the first moment I saw you
And as I slip from consciousness
Your enraged blood splattered face
has never looked more beautiful
So full of life
Farewell my valentine

I wish you would not think I hung the moon
I didn't you know..

I wish you would not compare me to constellations
They adorn the night sky with such beauty
and I could never be so..

I wish you would not believe you need me to breathe
I am not the air that fills your lungs..

My eyes do not hold the answers to the universe
no matter what the weather..

The pedestal you put me upon is so high
I am afraid of falling
and when I do,

because I will..

You will see that I am just a human being
with countless flaws and faults
with an anxious mind
a foolish heart
and eyes that are
just brown.
