There's a chill in my bones.
I feel sick beyond reproach.
Skin of ice
Still sweats fire beads
Blazing trails.
Liquid thoughts of you
Escape through pores.
Splash on the floor.
I fall to my knees
To tongue the puddles
Back in...
I'm so cold without you...
I'm sick -
Agony consumes my throat
As I swallow
A gulp that is stripped of your honied voice...
A crick in my neck -
I can no longer look to my right
To see the light you've bestowed on my cheek
Through a luminescent kiss...
I can never again look to my left
Or I'm faced with the death you had lifted,
Now resurfaced.
On elbows and knees,
Coughing up dizzying blood
While surroundings spin -
A toxic swirl of green and blue.
The colors of a world
Putridly merged.
A lifeless sheet of my papery soul sits
Atop a cold glass table,
As one crayon is forced upon the shade of the last
And the vivid brightness
Disintegrates into a murky brown.
I squint through a glare,
Trying to make out a spec
Of the primary cries once there...
But the blood-red is drowned
In a vomit-yellow
And buried by how blue I've become...
I am sick.
I am colorless shit
Without you...
