The death of Baby Snakes

Today was just like every other day
Until the phone rang
It was only a few days ago I saw you
Wrapped in your drama like celophane
Your eyes ringed in black
Thick tears down your face
I whispered to you softly
Telling you I would one day be a ghost of a memory
You held me so softly
Still a slave chained to eve
I'm so sorry dear that I didn't understand
It wasn't that you were too sick
You never frightened me
And I think you never understood that
Not even in the very end
But you never gave me nightmares dear
The thots in your head were never monsters
Just the demons your purged
And I drank them in
With the hopes that you would heal
If only I could steal all your pain
Lock it away from you out of reach
Make you feel whole again
But I couldn't fill the vortex
Or make the maelstrom calm
The storms inside you mirrored my own
We could have never been whole
We are two pieces from different puzzles
Trying to fit where we don't belong
And explaining that to you was torture
I couldn't know I was so wrong
I wouldn't take anything back
Those nights on the rooftops
Planning our double suicides
Were better than any drug induced high
But I never thought the day would come
When you'd really say goodbeye

 

 

 

~~~ Rest in peace Baby Snakes ~~~
