Fast Forward
A hole in one…the petals are wilting. A breeze arrives and it suddenly freezes. Snakes of Christ, the venom is flowing. My veins collapse and everything glows in a shade of blue.
I bite on your lips, the sugary sweet taste of your pain…I can taste all your screams in a lightning-like kiss.
I’m watching the clouds rush on by…fast forwarding past the grayest sky. I see you in a vision now...like an apparition gone awry...then back in its course and into my life.
I take a deep breath and feel the electricity surge around my seams. Can’t help but think that I’m fading away here…no tears to be cried for the ducts have all dried and I’m stuck inside this question mark. The leaves have departed from the trees, the seeds are all hollow, the stillness is shallow and this silence speaks volumes…my faithful companion.
The years they fade in and then fade out…the lines on my face much deeper now-
and the friends that I had are nowhere to be found because everyone changes and hardly anyone remains intact.
It’s time to move on now…there’s no looking back. The cracks irreparable…the sins unforgettable…I shrug it all off and onward I go…let’s turn to the next chapter now:
I look forward to watching my love evolve and creating a life out of two souls...look forward to watching old friends dissolve and watch as new friendships bloom and grow.
Because everything changes-
and
hardly a thing remains intact.
