Day: Feb 13, 2021

The tragedy came knocking down cardboard doors,

Breaking jaws and crystal figurines on the floor.

Curtains parted like the seven seas, in synchrony,

And the roof sunk in, uncovering my villainy.

The inked pages absorbed the flooded fields,

Through the chaos we lost all helmets, all shields.

The sun dimmed when it fell towards my neck,

But the others hid me for a blank paycheck.

The red petals went limp, the clouds collapsed,

Mist seeping in cracks, disintegrating me fast.

I held onto my limbs ‘til the sky again inflated.

They can see me struggling,

They must never see me breaking.
