the lights they glowed a ruby red
the stars inside your irises inside
my head. i saw you on the stage
and wept. the comets above our
heads, i saw mars, but i have to
forget. and i apologize for my
lack of communication, it was
just that your eyes were like an
emerald and i forgot the words
to say. i bet losing memories will
bond us, for now i sit alone on my
couch. i loved you once, i love you
forever. i will never let you go. the
lights a melancholy indigo. i saw
your hair and then your face and i
just couldn’t stop. you sat there
playing on the piano. so i just sat
eerily still and sobbed. for now, a
woman without a cause, her sunken
eyes, her remembrance of a someone.
but i had forgotten the words to your
favorite song, though still i managed
to sing along. without a word, i left
the table, you saw me leave, i’m sorry
i had to go. i know you’ll understand
just had to let you know. you just sat
there playing the piano. and the
lights turned black and then it all was
gone.
