Heart Scrub

Poisoned Lilacs

A thin mist enveloped my head

Like a translucent veil of ice

I was just sitting there

Limp.

On a rotting bench

The wood coated in a thin layer of frost

Tiny crystals sparkling in the weak sunlight

The weak sun

It was bieng smothered by the white clouds wich covered the entire sky

But still diluted rays fell onto the frozen earth

My hands were turning blue

The skin on my knuckles was white

Because I was holding on to them so tightly

Those violets you gave me

I was crushing the stems in my fist

While I was staring straight ahead

Watching your silhouette fade into the mist

A mess of pale grey

And then all I saw was red

Because bleeding minds bleed bleeding tears

And my tears were fighting for room in my eyes

Because you didn't look back

My eyes couldn't hold the tears anymore

They were burning my eyes

So they splashed onto those violets

In dark red beads

Staining them

Poisoning them

Changing them

Into poisoned lilacs

Those poisoned lilacs

As you faded away
