Eclipse of the Past

My mirror image can’t even look 
me in the eyes
and the stars, they don’t want 
to kiss me back
 the silver ring on my left-hand, 
is turning purplish-black
for the tear drops, they still fall 
like the frozen ice

so it took a walk with the 
mountains of delusion
as the moon makes its face, the 
shadows disappear
but I sat on the woods, talking 
to myself- imagination
for the winds hurts just like the 
spare

what did you think my heart is 
made for, is it just a container 
for the blood
it conceals so many hurts, yet 
that red sheet matter
for you were the one I still 
come home to, if it feels any 
better
the thoughts went dark, the 
heart went numb, then the love 
cold

only to stand, look past the 
broken trust and felt the face
it hits just like a tornado-for you 
were my first time
with a hand holding spirit and a 
chest full of weed-less peace
but I moved on and you in your 
delirium-bitter as lime.
