the days when the sun forgot to rise
the day you left
i died inside
and i didn’t sleep for the 4 weeks
that followed—
every night i laid in my
bed
drawn to the cold spot beside me
where you used
to
sleep—
on the 21st day
you’d been gone
i only laid there
in your empty cold spot
and screamed
all night
i laid there and screamed for
days—
on the 27th day
i lost myself
and everything i thought i knew to the cold
spreading through my bones
i was devoid
completely devoid of warmth
your warmth—
i couldn’t find the will to breathe, i was
suffocating—
but as i held my breath
i finally closed my eyes
and slept through the night—
but i dreamt
of you—
i slept through that night
and the very next day
and the day after that
i slept for years
with only you in my dreams—
my body grew hollow
and though my mind was awake,
i was paralyzed—
i heard the
beep-----
beep------
beep-----
of the heart monitor
and the sound of hushed voices
it’ll be okay
don’t let go, stay with us
wake up
you’re safe
i love you
but i couldn’t wake up and i couldn’t
stop thinking of you
my destruction,
the means to my end
i heard promises
and i tried so hard
to speak
i---
i---
i---love---
and then nothing.
i couldn’t move my lips
and i was far too gone, far too numb
lost to you,
to your betrayal—
i was
comatose
all because you went
a
w
a
y
and broke my tiny
cheap
plastic
heart—
and now
i’m trapped inside this
perfect
shell
with nothing
to do but
dream of you.
