2191 Days Later

cold days, colder now they dance by
their cruel jaws crunch color out
mint to grey, I will hide from the masquerade
you've called this evening a loss
but it's only one night sealed away
in your memory's keepsake
*
and it's true, your pretty feelings have been
dampened, and I don't know if I had a name
before to anyone else and yes it's true
all the millions of things you wrote about me
your ink has gutted me, painted me a villain
and in the face of danger I present you
*
a question, am I alive?
say anything to me as such that I'll believe
the answer is yes, I am mechanically
separated by your car, I am roadkill
I am that worthless, homeless, nameless
person on the side of the road 
*
you lost this evening with me,
but the parade goes along and their eyes
comfort you tonight
all this anger is unjust compared to the despair
I have for all things you
