Bluelighter
Two years traveled by
Without our eyes meeting.
Absent from soft caress,
Long embrace gone, replaced
With emptiness and solitude at best.
A thick, muddy silence
Shrouds me with disbelief-
For tonight she returns to me.
Will her hands still fit in line
Our knuckles jagged, intertwined-
Raveled scales on a snakeskin piano.
A warm cigarette
On a lone, foggy twilight-
Always lit, never bright.
Will she be that same girl,
Who shook my world with every breath?
Knowing the importance of choosing
Matching stamps for every letter.
The star who promised herself, forever.
The moon who promised me, and ever,
The only one I wanted, ever.
Anticipation tares my chest apart
For her shadow lies in my window.
Handle rocks as grains give way,
Hinges rub and crackle her name.
My senses overwhelmed, her vision
Stops time. Our eyes locking
For a millennia in a second
But something is wrong.
Terror tugs against my heart
And my eyes are lost inside--
Suddenly, its two years ago.
"I'll write you my love,
Everyday. Time means nothing-
Our love floats above it," she cried,
"Remember these eyes, remember me
In this moment, forever."
Tears scatter rainbows on her lashes,
"I'll see you in the next life,"
I screamed, but she was gone.
My soul, to see her again.
Whenever my eyes close,
Her image is etched into the darkness
Haunting my mind and every moment afterwards.
What I would give to betray her memory
Burying her with all other tragedies
I cannot bring myself to remember.
My heart, if I could only forget.
Alas, my thoughts wrap into obsession.
A constant clicking wrought reflections of
My dead past's love into my head.
My entire being consumed with scenes
Acted out by her silhouette.
Her shadow's dancing on the walls
Every step felt with perfect clarity
Every pitch of every curve
Echoes in a voice that can only be heard
In the darkest dreams of
The person I once was.
My life, if I could only rest.
Two years faded away,
This moment forever repeating-
She poured over me in crashing waves
Her eyes glaring over their wake.
And I will never be able to forget
How I looked up at her face,
And felt nothing.
My heart stopped beating.
Without our eyes meeting.
Absent from soft caress,
Long embrace gone, replaced
With emptiness and solitude at best.
A thick, muddy silence
Shrouds me with disbelief-
For tonight she returns to me.

Raveled scales on a snakeskin piano.
