❝It wasn't lethal when you touched me,
It was lethal when I tasted your touch.
God forbid, it tasted like a blind's...
If my tears are colourless, then how can it paint vivid emotions?
Colourless tears, fall on my palette I dip my brush in them, Hoping I could paint emotions I never had the right to feel.
The brush swirls in the bowl Painting fins to my memories They fish and they hop Then they dry on my cheeks.
My tears don’t even bother to find a path They just trace the old ones that are still fresh On my cheeks that once bloomed colours Brighter than the rose garden Now my tears are the rosewater.
I drew the stars for the nights when You cut me open, Saying my soul shone and glinted But the when the blood didn’t brew your wine You puffed me like a cigarette Placing me on your lips, Hoping the smoke would overpower The bitter taste in your mouth.
I drew the valleys full of orchids When you kissed me in places I never thought I could feel But when the taste grew on you The valleys saw autumn, and never spring.
I drew lakes full of the empty shells that make pretty bracelets you hear the ocean whispering in your ears that deafens my voice in fear.
I drew the birds, whose feathers I picked to write letters to you The ink flowed through my veins blue and black but the words were always sealed behind my chapped strawberry glossed lips.
Your presence would melt me now the wax has stuck to my face and hardened the smile I always wore. Even if you've grown cold, I still smell like the sandalwood candle.
Now I sit by the windowpane Coffee leaving stains softer than the ones on my face The rain wiping my tears with its touch, It made me wonder,
If we were raindrops would our love smell like petrichor Or screams roiling in the floods?
Till then, I'll draw a picture of you and let my tears sign it off.
