Broken Glass and Starry Skies

You were always so blithely blind, my dear,

Whispering to the angels behind the wall,

While you kissed away my sorrows,

And held my hand when I sinned.

 

The glass from which I drink my life

Isn't half empty,

Or half full.

It fell and shattered into

Sharp little bits

On which I continue to choke,

And all that I have left to say for myself

Is the blood that I spit up every single day

On my pillow when I wake from my nightmares.

 

There is blood on my hands,

Because I tried to ****** your light,

Leaving everything in darkness,

So that we could see the stars.

Forgive me for that,

If you can.

 

All that is left are

Memories that

Never existed and

Dreams that

Never came true.

 

I want to drag you into

The sands of time with me,

But I would hate to watch you suffocate,

With the sand in your nostrils.

 

So let me fall alone,

And don't reach out to catch me.

 

This time, I will swim among the stars,

And rearrange them into my own story.
