Description
I lost a sense of truth that night,sitting among dewdrops and fairy lights
that lit up my heart but stole away my youth
(you always said you would never let yourself get old;
but there is something wonderful
in the way skin lets someone read of the majesty
and the history within us)
you told me that it was time to go and i
clutched on to feathers of a different world
stoic refusal and crying shame
I would rather die than leave the light
(or is that one and the same)
words I can barely hush out spread
over your alcohol skin, slipping
into the concave of your ribcage
trapped and resigned to a life
beside a slowing heart and rasped lungs
poisoned by reality and untruths
maybe leaving the magical lights was
best for me; everyone needs to grow
and you might think it was bad, but I know
there are a lot worse things in the world
than learning the truth. you could always
suffer the truth.
peel away layers of life and do we find
the child we were, long for the lost
maybe I'll meet him again
that little kid that climbed trees
and made a whole new world
out of dead daffodils.
