Poison
Heartbreak is running blindly through the rain
searching for who you used to be
She sits in the graffitied bathroom stall, soaked in polluted darkness
She watches the shadows of her mind dance on the walls, playing with the faded messages
She breathes shallow, thin breaths
Her heart races, lacing her blood with tawdry adrenaline
She thinks of him, thinks of every flaw to that perfect face
Everything he did wrong
In a futile attempt to hate him
A barren endeavor to feel nothing at all
Her limbs tremor with the impulse to run
An inexorable desire to feel the unfailing pavement
under her tired legs
She didn’t have the life inside of her
Everything was gone
The darkness had consumed what was left of the life
She had once held on to so dearly.
She closed her green eyes and
drifted into the poisoned night.
