lack of petals, an abundance of thorns

i believed i could fly

i'm forgetting
how many hours
have passed,

lying on the floor
while staring at
stars.

i'm forgetting
how to move
my limbs,

is that the
medication
sinking in?

i think i remember you,

all your wonderful blue.

you panicked too much
now the sirens
rush,

can you hear them drawing near?

tell them i'm sorry
i disappeared.

too eager
to fall into
the sky;

gravity doesn't exist
during a human eclipse.

i wish you could
see it, the shadow
of my soul,

but you're having
a staring contest
with a flesh doll.

oh, you're losing,
look!
you're losing
to paling skin
and limp bones.

it's okay, shhhhh
it's alright,

i've already taken flight.

you'll see me again,
one day,
in our afterlife.
