Pale is the only way to describe the color of your once
glowing skin. Dark circles leak under your gray eyes. I can see every bone
through the thin fabric they draped over your unmoving body. You did
everything, slept, partied, wrote, sang, danced, you were a spotlight and I was
a lost ship. Now what am I to do, you stopped eating, and your bulb died out. I
carved your name into my soul and it is already scarring. If you saw how bad I
was shaking, you would giggle and tell me to get a blanket, then you’d wrap
your warm arms around me and kiss my neck. But instead, you stare at me with
the voids that used to contain loving eyes and f**k I am so cold. They keep
whispering and writing it, “Time heals all wounds”, but god this isn’t a wound,
I wish I had known. I wish you told me.
