Quiet light enveloped the room—he tightened his grip—he knew and he felt doom.
He lost his mind looking for the things he said he couldn’t find; eyes ripping through from behind.
The television set began to rewind, as it screamed out in a static howl—how kind.
She came to him and said, “Your twisted, wired brain is no longer aligned”.
He broke through the spot where they dined and softly said, “Won’t you be my purple queen? I’ll be your pink king.”
On her finger he slid a gold laden wedding ring, from there he knew she’d sing—they fell together as one fiery thing.
She cried to him, “Oh, love, what should i bring?”
His grimace shouted a reply as he called upon a phone to ring—it’s nothing but ping.
He held in his loose hand his purple queen, declaring himself a pink king of joy and delusion.
Wheels beat the pavement, the air fills with confusion, her heart breaks as it forms a contusion.
He turns his serpent head to her and looks into her for a conclusion; finding nothing short of fusion.
She whimpers, “My sweet king, can’t you see, it’s all an illusion?
He pushes into the striped night, to his right, his purple queen; in his mind his pink king of might.
Rain leans against the glass, droplets sweeping in lines so tight, she loses her fight.
Suddenly, mountains form across his skin, his pupils turn white; his brain flooding with fright.
She asked him if he was alright, so not to seem too polite; he replied with sight.
He can feel it. He can feel his purple queen slipping away. He knows his pink king will never survive that way.
She whispers, “Maybe some day.”
His brain, heart, eyes and soul explode—he shouts, “You don’t say!”
Soon the darkness attacks him, leaving him alone, leaving him without his own heart.
On his knees in the center of the rain slicked street he cries out to the sky, “This could’ve been the best part!”
Then the night kills him.
Where he stood, remains of a forever broken heart; that’s what he called art.
The pink king lost before the start.
The purple queen disappeared into his heart.
