You were bright-eyed like a flouriest
angel lighting up the streets.
But they can be dimming.
Night has away of draining
beauty
into void less shadows.
I once saw stars in your eyes,
now all I see is the space
in-between.
Flowers blossoming,
spring breezes
were your words to me.
I found you clipped,
dead eclipses vacant within you.
It doesn't matter how bright you shine,
the city may outshine
you.
And what was always able to rise,
set with the demise of light.
They found you extinguished,
in a shallow grave of regret.
Cities have a way of collecting
the wishes upon stars,
and dousing them out in to
nothingness
but silence.
I wish upon a star, but all stars die...

I sat on decaying desks of reflection.
My homework, write a moment
of life that meant the most.
But this is a theory of retrospective
collections, tattered and loosely fitting.
Writing in faded inks of yesterday.
Everything I'd wrote was a failure,
never amassing a page of meaning.
I knew I wasn't a graduate of life.
Mostly a D minus in the accomplishments of what
I could have wrote. But instead I just
dodged classes and ended up a failure.

Dreamy sequel ceased and
From thin air came a blow,
Misery slithered silently
Wrenched my heart it though
Tremors were deepfelt
Not a frown did I show
Ma mère accused divinity
I knew I did me wrong.
Thud fall shook me bad
Things were rosy a while ago,
Night came down like silk
An atonement started to grow
When posed an interrogation
How come happened so?
My eyes averted sheepishly
And conscience plummeted low
My head accepted verity
Mais heart refused to follow,
Like a squab shutting eyes
To overlook a felis shadow
With broken heart, a lost face
And failure laden torso
Shackled in remorse did I
Go sinking down the hydro.

Checkmate was the moves that followed me,
Each was noted as if known before I had stepped,
Frustration gained pace upon my fragile self.
Motion seemed stagnant and still,
My life was a dismal stalemate of defeat.

I am not the sophisticated underdog,
I trip and fall through door frames
Always unannounced.
I am the wavering circle,
I give myself away too early in the game
Always a red herring.
