A secret, forbidden.
Lurks through alleys,
hidden.

An icy breath tickles your chest, while
cerulean flames engulf the night.

A cancer, spotted.
Carves a pathway,
clotted.
Jaundiced rooms ebb and flow, purple
tide pools that dejectedly erode.

A pariah, banished.
Whispers to loved ones,
vanished.
Cannot ignore this chemical *****, golden
glitter still speckled throughout her hair.

A human, forgotten.
Splayed on couches,
rotten.
A look of surprise in his childlike eyes, milky
white oceans that lull him to sleep.
