when your dreams
fall
from the sky and die
don’t blame yourself
when your hopes
bleed
out on the floor in front of you
don’t cry
when the lightbulb
fuses
and everything goes dark
it’s not your fault
It’s theirs.
They are the ones that
tug at your laces
claiming to tie them
when they really are
pulling them out
and pulling you down.
They are the ones that
appear like guardian angels
too good to be true
truly too good
then the shaft of their spear
is already through your heart.
They are the ones that
welcome themselves into
your home
and crush the lights with
their words.
They are the ones that
enter your mirrors
and claim to be you.
Although if you see yourself
then please
switch the lights back on.
