pills

my life
his life

filled with beautiful pastels
we even see them in our nightmares

I wonder what it’s going to take for you to believe me.

Another sleepless night?
Another cut?
A deep cut. So deep the room screams scarlet.
Or maybe some pills, perhaps a few too many.
Maybe I should die, then you’d definitely notice.
And you’d swear I was always so happy, the life of the party.

But I was broken.

O.K.

i see sparks in your eyes
when you light up another cigarette

our souls are on a teeter-totter and

they might
just
fall
off

i am sad
i say
but i don't need to
my eyes scream it
even if you
don't want
to hear

fairy boy's hair
has faded to white
my cigarette ****
flies out the cracked window

along with the blue dye
some evidence of
what once was still remains

it is a quiet acknowledgement
of the passing of time
