styrofoam and feathers

you'll be loved

after authors of bad dreams

bide time with suitable poets

hang suspended

until then-

 

if you can

 

 

i have bullt your heart

from the platform of disaster

railroads of treachery

 

watched you sleep

in a bed you didn't own

while the one who waited

preferred hers alone

 

they will all judge you

from a skin's point of view

but i see from a foreign glance

perhaps i stole too much today

 

you're not ready for this

so i will stand further away

 

the magazines, neon signs

all the places we say goodbye

in eyes of an indifferent crowd

 

i am just someone over and done

asking to be a part of your measly sun

 

not wanting to be

the one to watch you die

 

 

 

Author notes

'if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
and illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs,
if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks,
then i'll follow you into the dark' - Death Cab for Cutie

Ya think?

    this is so well-written, the word choice and the flow is just mind-blowing.

    This one touches some buttons, makes the reader walk in the darkness with only a memory of the light, things we have to experience yet try so hard not to consider- there should be a category like that... for maybe that is when we will really feel alive...thoughtful beauty here...PK
