MY PALE HEART IS CONSTRUCTED OF GREED AND LIES.
MY PINK EYES ARE TERRIFIED OF LOVING A SUNSET BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT WON'T LAST. they aren't as good as the sunrise.
I SIT THERE, COMPARING nature LIKE IT'S TWO CANDY BARS IN A GROCERY LINE. MY FATHER ONCE TOLD ME THAT I COULD PICK ONE: two in total for
my brother and me.
WE WERE LIKE TWO
TWIGS ON A BRANCH ONE
BRANCH ON A TREE WE WENT EVERYWHERE TOGETHER BUT AS WE GREW older we realized THAT WE NEED TO SEPARATE A LITTLE MORE FROM EACH OTHER.
so that is what we did. until finally, we are like two separate people living in the same house UNAWARE of each other like one is a rainbow and one is a mouse. "im leaving."
okay because i didn't like her anyway, but i did, i did, i did.
AND NOW it seems she's all he's looking forward to LIKE SOMEHOW I WAS REplaced lost in space lost in those nights we used to stargaze WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BROTHER:
THE ONE WHO USED TO BREATHE AROUND OTHER HUMAN BEINGS BUT NOT MAKE A sound.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BROTHER
WHO CONSTANTLY ASKED ME WHEN WE COULD PLAY HIS FAVORITE VIDEO GAME OR BLOCKS OF PLASTIC
COATED WITH AN ARRAY OF COLORS. sometimes
i just walk into his room and find the closet containing all those old smiley faces and small buildings.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BROTHER
WHO USED TO ADVENTURE IN THE FOREST WITH ME FINDING ROCKS AND PICKING TREES
what happened to my brother
the one i grew up to stab in the chest with a knife
"school is easy get a friend get a life"
what happened to my brother
who i used to neglect
"not now i'm busy i have to study for tests"
what happened to my brother
the one who i wanted everything from but gave nothing to
"help me do the dishes give me a glass of water turn off the house lights"
a pretty please was spoken in soft tones
::convincing and childish secrets
but a pretty please can't fix these problems. not anymore.
no,
not anymore
