The sky is electric blue And though it's getting lighter, It feels like it's getting dimmer.
I can't remember what I said to you the last time we spoke, But I remember the way your sky blue eyes contrasted my own which were stained red with rage. I had never seen you angry and I think that's why I hated you. Because you were everything I wanted to be but couldn't. I wanted you to despise me, Because you were perfect and I was inconceivably flawed, And the thought of something so pure admiring my tainted soul tasted like shards. I wanted to crack your glass eyes, Slit my wrists with the remnants, Make you understand what happens when you give your heart to someone who doesn't want it. and though I didn't want you I needed you. And I know that's a cliche, But that writer you made me love embraced his so why shouldn't I embrace Ours?
The trees are black against the now pale sky, Their silhouettes look the way the tiger stripes of your irises did, The way your faded scars did against your olive branch skin . And goddamit why did you have to ruin the sky too? I'm sick of everything becoming yours You told me to stop giving myself away to everyone but you just keep taking Take. Take it all. I don't want it without you. The electrons in the clouds are sleeping again They're too tired to keep shocking me with images of your now permanently closed eyes . And I can't help but wonder if when they sealed your eyes shut If you were relieved because you had grown tired of trying to light up my permanently dark sky.
