#saturndreams
i ought to wake up
from this nightmare i’m in,
i ought to forget
the world that i’ve seen.
a bottle of saturn tears
in my hand,
ready to get emptied
on my every command.
she was who i shared
my dreams with at night,
now nights only trip
over fears that i hide.
we once danced in desert,
with sand in our eyes,
but she’s now in hiding
wearing a different disguise.
the stars cry
and milky way echoes.
i drank half the poison,
shattered my soul.
i weeped horizons
in your belonging.
forgotten myself as
i’ve fallen asleep.
now you and i
and stars remember.
but new memories
cannot be made.
i’m leaving you now,
alone, to surrender
the past into nightmare,
that i’m living in.
