Sober eyes

I can say it but you won't believe me

It feels like the heart of athletes

I shiver at your touch

Yet your eyes are somewhere else

It's hard to know that you're not here

Although you're staring at the water rushing swiftly cross, while we're sitting at the pier

I found my dead heart next to rocks on the ground

I left my hearing at the door

Where you used to slam it, all before

I left my sight at your house

Where you closed the window, too cold

I once knew

You say you're still here

I don't believe you

But I can still contact your eyes

Like the rain hitting your stomach as we laid on the soil

We got drunk one night

Nothing but darkness not a single speck of light

You held my hair back and I poured my stomach out

Nothing but the warmth of your hand

I still cannot comprehend

Why you looked stone cold sober, when I cried my eyes out

I tried turning around but all I saw were the colours of the rubix cube

Back in college we would say

We would fix ours one day

I'm not, but I am?Where stories live. Discover now
