We never were

A Car drove past, Radio screaming like it knew. Bird landed on a brittle branch, It doesn’t sing. Wind blowing leaves, But they don’t dance Colours are fading, Or is it blood? Are we bleeding? Everything is turning grey. It’s cold – I hold my breath. Where did the sun go? Misery never left, It watched, hushed. Streets are empty The water - still Windows flicker with ghosts Glass rain. Blood smear. Is it all gone? Are we alI gone? Am I the thing behind the glass, That won’t stop screaming? Pretending not to see what I’ve become. Do you hear that? Silence hisses at me: Maybe you’re not here. Maybe we never were.
