ever the shade of blue
you've left us in;
my walls painted purple,
the evidence between my fingernail
and the skin.

i chip off the paint in bed.
high off the fumes of a dark empty room and visions of you.

curtains falling
it's a billowing view
late summer nights bring wind from the sea
remind the lonely how cold it is,
or maybe that night mother earth wanted to remind me
how to breathe,
and how you can feel alive if you let the cold hit your cheek;
it was disconcerting
to say the least.

i was listening from the sheets
between the curtains and underneath

each gust of wind
visions of you
walking in the room

i dont know what i believe in,
but i guess it's not you.
silence on dark roads past winding view
all my men have left me
nothing to do

feeling purple & cleaning my room

I thought I could lose you
in another country
down by the waters
Pompeii
City of ashes
somehow I could breathe
burning red
hot to death
I saw you from across the room
and I just knew

You were with her
I didn't see her

It was the end of my time
in the place I thought I'd lose you
something about the city
it just gets me
freeze frames of last breaths
and beloveds lost forever

buried treasures
buried in burning death
a symbol of material's emptiness
how do I confess to you
my love is true?
When we leave this behind
we leave all our dimes
but I will still have love for you

riches and gold
forever plastered
life's meaningless treasures

suffocation
I had to leave before you saw me too
I don't know what it was
I couldn't be reintroduced to your drug
in the city of ashes
surely I would burn
because I knew

you are with her
and when you look at me
I can't tell if it shows
but I know

you are with her
and when you look at me
I can't tell if it shows
but I know

dying muse
kassie Sep 2019
im dipping into a bottle of wine
to see if i can find my muse again

these nights are hot
im burning up
sadness was the only muse i'd ever known
now im not sad
im just alone

depression and her cloak
a black veil before my eyes
living life in grey every night
imagine going that way through life
drowning without a moment of panic
crying because you'd turned your emotions off
he doesn't know
my life now is a wonderful array
bundled up and tucked away
a scroll of all the things i never got to say

i burn red inside with passion
beautiful and polished like glass for show
intricacies trimmed in gold

im a cherry blossom waiting for
the perfect moment
yet even if i fall before i bloom
i will grow again
with the coming of the seasons
there are some things that never change
without exception is the thought of you

— The End —
