![]() TranslucentA Poem by poison&kerosene![]() This one is just a structural nightmare. I just needed to get this out of me.![]()
She filled this space in the same capacity that I did
Every room swallowed her Her screams never seemed to touch the air I watched her pace in the living room turn into a jog She knew she wasn't gaining distance from herself I think it just felt good for her to pretend that she could She stopped singing while she worked Then her showers became void of melody Her voice a causality of whatever war she was fighting I heard her often beg the sky for a moment to dream I would listen carefully to see if her pleas could break through the ceiling We sat together until the sun would stream along her sullen face One day I realized that reality had snuffed out her smile Day by day one of her petals would fall and sway to the floor Reduced to a dying stem unable to support her soul Her green eyes glazed over refusing to hint at a sign of life They were no longer a part of her They looked just like my own
