I grew accustomed to lying in the dark,
the way you learn to love wearing
the clothes that fit you well, hands folded
over stomach, the skin just above the navel
exposed like an offering to the crow you've just
noticed--with a glint in his eye, his open beak,
his perch like a messenger at your window,

'What are you waiting for?' you ask.
"I'm not waiting for anything.
Why
are you?" he says,
turning away. "the light will eventually fade

with or without you.
take your paintbrush, your cloak,
walk into oblivion.

they found your inkwell at the foot of the sky.

Oh, and there might be a sign that says,
to beware of falling objects?
in the dark it's safe enough

to travel with your eyes closed. Just
walk until they're open."

listening to mr brightside feeling really tired
what can i do when we’re falling apart at the seams
again? with loud sighs, collapsing into beds. rag dolls
dancing, in fading yellow light. lying in the dark,
staring at our reflections
in black windows, what are we
coming to. it’ll be okay as long as—in your eyes: me,
in my hands: you. are we just pretending we don’t feel lonely?
i;m scared. you took your needle and your thread and you put it through
my little finger, ‘pinkie promise’ you whispered
ghost from a future nightmare, i’m faithful to you.

I thought it was over
I thought it was reached the end
I screamed alot of pain
Searching for a help

That terror reached me
A disaster strikes
Started when I see in the sky
A big Aurora Borealis
With it yellowlight
Shining in the sky
Switching my compass around

Strom and thunder attacked
It beat me down to the ground
Making me dizzly
And fall
I kept praying and wishing
It was over
Inspired by a movie/film ;3

— The End —
