There's a fake yellow light
shining pale beneath this heavy darkness.
This is my last photograph.
I wish I could smile,
but I'm bleeding purple tears instead.
When did my mouth ever obey?
There were words that formed hard and crisp on your air.
I cut you deep then smiled at your crushed bones.
Thinking I was strong.
But I'm just a little girl, with a yellow grin.
All I am, all I was
Has remained.
And the years decay upon the calendar.
Dust in my chalk white hands.
My laughter hit the wind with unexpected strength.
Leaving it stunned.
As you and I stole one last kiss and the essence blew light and empty through the mint colored leaves.
Then the wind picked up again.
And I went on my way.
Walking under the fake yellow sun.
