The Tragedy; Siren Girl

The Tragedy; Siren Girl

A Poem by C Peril

Your plastic kisses, 
I felt uncomfortable 
A Siren Girl This was all
performative and grotesque
and vulgar and... not 
in the good way 
*
How it felt to hold
the fragile thing I 
couldn't quite bring myself
to want 
*
The murky swamp of
reality, where I try 
to summon up some 
sort of narrative I can
impose on the after 
*
Trapped behind your
aching? Trapped behind
the lurid words you 
offered me that weren't
the entirety? 
*
The bitter agony of a
dimension I couldn't
rescue you from
Sometimes I squander
a thought 
*
on the man - who
was me - that ran away
*
Do you still send those
burning flares, red comets
of a thing akin to love, 
into that sky that was
forbidden to you? A black,
clutching thing stealing
hope, crushing dreams
*
And hope to see the figure
of a boy, drowning in 
the sea with you? 
*
