Forever be your silhouette
A frame instead
Of the picture
A clock with no time
Be the fall leaves that
Linger just before
The first snow
And breaths on shoulders
Not necks
Something that represents
Much more than a simple
Structure;
Or sum of its parts.
A single ray of
Lamp light
That you would say is
Synonymous to unnoticeable
But I notice how much
Darkness is needed
To see the stars
Or people who are
Falling backwards
With eyelashes glued
To cheeks.
You aren't a **** nor rose
I would never want
To think of you as something
That's slowly dying
life dies and thrives
Everyday
And every year
We pass the unknown
Anniversary to Our Deaths
Yet go to bed
Dreading the next day.
So inspect the grass,
Dust bunnies in our heads
Cover the calendars
All the clocks
Walk as if you're blind
And see what road
You wind up on.
Because gravel
Can be many miles
But don't forget
The paved
Highways.
