Deadly - Poetry

Red

He loves the way she arrives a minute too late
With that look like she didn't sleep at all but has never been more awake
She will announce something
It's a theory a conspiracy
A secret
It could be anything

It's silence
She suddenly feels like she's not supposed to be here
She dashes out the door
And everything that was left is gone

He will get a glimpse of her hair swaying
As she runs away
And he will hold on to that
Like a fool
And for everyone that comes around he will
Beg
Save me
She's gone
And now he feels so alone
Fighting that same old war

Should I swim across the ocean to come see you?
Should I run until I catch you?
Should I let you leave me?
Watch the city move without me
The world feels so empty now that she's
Gone

He contemplates a world where wishes do come true
And people don't even have to dream
So they just have nightmares
About this reality we live in

She is one of those sweet sweet nightmares
She is all but that girl that smiled when you said hello
The stars don't shine so bright now that she's
Gone
She is the
Silence
heartbreak
drinking problems
and painkillers

There's this picture where she's smiling and he painted it blue
It was her favorite color and now he can't even look at the sky without thinking
Of her

Would it be possible to paint a world where she's never been to
Where the sky isn't blue and nightmares aren't real
He thinks she will always live inside of him
In ways he is still to comprehend

She is the silence
After a scream
That breaks the world in half
She is the feeling of being dead

He is the artist
The one
So sad
The creator
Who gave her the brush and asked her to color him
