You Don’t Notice
You don’t notice
As the colour slips from the world
When golden leaves and gravel roads
Are noticed outside your heart
And when sleep starts to feel like a breath in
After drowning
When you kick your clothes to the floor
And it doesn’t matter
You don’t notice
Yourself smiling and thanking
And crying when the door shuts
Your window is clamped tight
The blinds get lower
And block out more light.
And you can’t think past
Sweatpants and cereal and going to bed
You can’t see past your jealousy
Of who you used to be
The future is in a haze
Unattainable.
And after all the grief and tears and realization
After your heart hurts and your family looks at you strangely
After you’ve realized that you can only see in grey
And you’ve been having trouble breathing
And your clothes are on the floor
And you fantasize about throwing open the window
And you’ve been in the same sweatpants for three days.
You don’t get out of bed.
Blue Infinity
She whispers infinity into my neck,
time stands still on eternity’s edge.
Wayward crow pecks at the moon,
pixies dance gleefully on lucid stars.
We lay limp from endless passion,
trembling at the brink of a cliff.
Our souls take flight without rhythm,
misted shadow casts somber reflection.
vanishing muse offers more than succor,
love endlessly spins around into darkness.
Boundless labyrinth guides you through,
spiritual tears supplant our fears,
melting in vast wells of blue infinity.
Eternity surrenders to let us pass by.
