In the palest spring sunsets you made into your own.
I was slowly shifting, accepting your debts and loans.
The faster time passed us, the more I trembled.
The weakness I felt took me back to the dark,
To the last December.
You told me I’m the one, yet – I was never someone,
Like an accessory you flashed me back at the sun.
Memory is a fragile thing, it gets lost and misguided.
Your screams became dents in my tender skull
But I tried to hide it.
And the summer came, sun still set over the sea
Where I promised I’d stay if you weren’t hurting me.
The time slowed down, it left my mind rushing.
It ran faster than my tears on the silver screen.
As I watched the sun rusting.
