it's the kind of darkness that not even the brightest star in the universe could illuminate. it starts in my heart then proceeds to consume my mind until eventually i am a walking and talking mass of gray and black. does the color of your soul mimic the piercing blue of your eyes? i never wanted things to be this way. you're a thousand miles away riding buses to places unknown while i'm writing sad poems of how much i miss you and sitting on this bench that once sat us both with teary eyes holding on to every ounce of hope that this was all only a nightmare. and my deliberations are like clockwork..
