In a forest, where bird songs are silencers to a pistol and their feathers are scattered hopes, like broken dreams are to fantasies, I sit. I stretch my arms, wide enough to fit grief and happiness in my muddy hands that I use to bury unspoken apologies and eulogies for days I have not yet lived.
I begin to stare aimlessly at the sky trying to spot the night moon. Its silhouette, that I trace with my finger. I've drawn And in the folds of the night, I hold you close like day does dawn.
I let your depression stain my cheeks and see it drip between the gaps in my teeth, sting my gum, and so your language interweaves itself upon wounded scars on my tongue, so when i return back home, i return with the same cuts identical to your tongue that you hung
I don't want to sound too much of a stranger to you when I talk thus tonight, I’ll choose to tie happiness to things that have asked for no such burden and stictch my lips silent to silence our silent violence.
My eyes bounce back at the hazy sky as if it’ll tame your inner broken and mould it into a less wild creature more civil, more mature less aggressive, less of a spirit
Your spirit appears in the bezels of my mind my trachea catches fire burning deep into my whines , my breath disappearing into a silent hymn in the dull light and watch my tongue chameleonize into a trillion hues of white until my tongue becomes a graveyard for all my white lies
Until pain becomes a part of my diet, until I'm able to chew the residual images of a broken girl, until her sadness becomes the air I breathe until her inner warrior becomes the battle field never fought in until I'm able to swallow sadness when chugged down my throat,
