dream [m. yoongi]

then i lost her,

the air was different here;
it was
heavier,
colder,
somber.

he opened his eyes.

the red and blue
flashing lights
outside the window
tore the night sky
to shreds.

their light
filled the dark air
in her apartment,
mocking her
as they
danced
off her
belongings.

how dare
they touch her things?

how dare
they fill her space?

how dare
they try to replace her?

he knew it before they knocked,
and the weight of it
crushed
his bones
and splintered
his soul.

he had already
crumbled
to dust
before he could open
the door and hear them say
"i'm sorry".

"she said she'd be back in a minute".
was all his disbelief
allowed him to say.

"she said she'd be back".
his lungs were
suddenly
wrung of air
and left out
to dry.

"sir, she's not coming back".
