Stillness
She left....
But her phantosmia stayed
I don't want it to ever fade
I feel the quietness
my wrist began to turn red
from the invisible bind
Time begins to lull
The silence echoes
I stand still
When I close my eyes, she's still here,
It’s incredible
but when i open them
I see her absence
How much longer?
The wind takes her Essence,
the bright colors begin to darken,
I’m colorblind
The silence breaks with a hum,
My body is playing a drum
I don't move
when I retract, I close my eyes once more,
and I can feel her presence press against my back.
She stays
My body turned into stone
She's medusa
So, I stay motionless
