The words all squirm together
as I write this short poem
They do not appear as colors on a page
but a black blob
They do not represent me
just words
like a dictionary
Maybe that is what our friendship was meant to be
a rainbow faded gray
the colors of crayons melting away
something that was meant to stray
I need to let our friendship decay
but I refuse to let all the colors of our memories die away
Take showers in the blank stares of strangers
For everything I have lived is forbidden
The present no less sour than the past
I am built on a plaintive mountain of emptiness
With the broken bones of those who jumped before me
Their reflections of pain can be seen in my eyes
You left me drowning in a red sea of emotion
Making me map out the stars to predict your impossible current
I remember the invisible stream
Broken free from my split chest
