What I Felt When I Looked At You
a life
sized to daily care
which does not occur
regularly nor properly
they don't care
It's just a mere fulfillment of
inflicted patterns
pushing you
to die through those papers
(don't sign them)
they've inserted your heart
in a metal cage
and corrosion imprinted soul
making words reek like rust
through the flesh
desiccated branches ramify
bones have become autumn
but eyes somehow assured the summer to stay
so captured light can cut approaching clouds like laser
and darkness won't shade your resting
while you're painting that dream
of a house settled by the dalmatian coast
your sea is calling for you
I saw you leaving
wanting to scream
kept my mouth shut
didn't know how to hand you over that life jacket
as deluded sentences were decomposing your chest cavity
so you kept navigating that river of perverted past
throwing paper boats filled with fury and indictments
you were that autoimmune one
there is a green color groveling across your face
and it doesn't bring the spring
muscles are winter
drained and dormant
tried to wake them up
by rubbing that oil
through your suffocated pores
no one came to see you
so they clogged
and you kept calling for mother
while your intestines were set on fire
she didn't came
couldn't cry with you
as I despise the rain
(forgive me)
