She swam, sifting, lifting her limbs through white light. Her eyes had long since gone cold, in the black of night. A widom, a word, a way.. Anything to chase the white and gray. <b> *She leans back, dropping her quill on the floor* "Nevermore, nevermore," she always whispered. A thought, a way, a mantra through the pain. She whispered it, time and time again, tugging at red locks cascading 'cross her pale skin. Her hands lifted to her face, pressing in. Digging, digging at her eyes till she felt she was soaring, flying through a kaleidoscope of colours in her mind, blinded by the dazzling lights, the heights, the sounds, the sights... The shifting, racing, heartbearts, words, heard and unheard, stuttered or muttered or spoke within. Wet, hot light poured forth, seeping between the cracks of her fingers, streaming to the floor. "Something.. More.." She whispers, softly, ever so softly, into the night. She wondered what it w a s she ever wanted. <b> ========== We burnt like stars, We flew so very far, Past space and time, When you were mine, Now we're dry heat, Sound of dying dreams, No whispers in my sheets, So close, you and me, Only in my dreams. I'm so far from home... I wish I'd known. Wish I'd grown. You burned it all away. These dying gray days, These twisted lonely ways, This depraved haze, Spinning, malaise.. Just... Leave me blank. Not like this. Don't leave words that fit, In the spaces of my page. Don't give me these lines, Don't make it rhyme, Not this time, Please.. A supernova didn't have that heat. The sun woulda bent at her damn knees, Gods woulda faltered, broken pleas, Torn and faithless of their own belief, Forgetting anything but you and me, When we burned that comet tail, Screaming worship through the night, So. Very. Bright. Yeah, that's right, that's right. No fears, no fright, take flight, Farther than the fastest light, Could ever see, Could ever be, You and me... I guess it couldn't be. Don't know why, Why I couldn't see. Don't know why, I couldn't breathe. When you said it to me, Echoed in my dreams, Endless, endlessly. Lantern oil burn that night away, Whisper that last heat through me, I wanted it to hurt, plead the burn, Till the fire touched my bones, yet, It ain't so. Felt ice cold. You'd never know. You're more than that, My light, that flash, Cosmic heat, can't surpass, I'm just volcano ash, Too weak, too meek, To live in your veins, To live with this pain, To stand strong, refrain, From a simpler fate. I whispered, "Saigon" But I knew I was wrong. You knew all along. <b> A Bloody Z~ | |
