I Saw You Again...

I saw you

Again

In my 

Drunken stupor 

Today

 

From afar you looked

Like a shadow of 

Time defunct

 

In some 

Forgotten grave

 

The sky started 

To disintegrate

Into ashen flakes of 

Crimson-grey

 

A bloody mist 

Veiled

My eyes 

With sorrow

And 

Eternal scorn

 

Voices of children

Laughing and crying

Echoed in my brain

 

I couldn't shout 

In this place

No matter how 

Hard I tried

 

Someone seemed 

To have snipped

My vocal cords and

Put them 

On display

 

Your white dress

Fluttered

Like a 

Moth 

 

In the

Perennial breeze 

Of

Beta-mercaptoethanol

 

Scars of death 

Embroidered

Thy pale, supple 

Skin

When you turned 

In my

Direction, 

I saw no 

Face

 

As if some lunatic 

Surgeon

Had 

Peeled it off 

With

His rusty scalpel 

Blade

 

Only an 

Ephemeral abyss

Stared back at me

 

My throat choked on

My foul tongue

And my pupils dilated

 

My body temperature 

Dropped

I could feel the 

Paralysis

Seeping into my 

Veins

 

This wretched heart seemed

To have stopped 

For a long moment

 

'Cause when I came to

These eyes 

Gazed upon a

 

Floating bouquet of 

Rotten roses

Drifting in the 

Dark Ganges

 

My phone's alarm 

Went off at 

2356 hours

 

As I stood upon a 

Lonesome railing

Of an 

Old, desolate bridge

 

The clock chimed 

Midnight 

With the symphony of a 

Burning violin

 

So I jumped to 

Embrace

The warmth of the

Water

With open and greeting 

Arms

 

My rib cage caved in &

Punctured into the lungs

Blood filled every orifice

 

Hidden and unknown

This body turned

To a slab of stone

And as I sunk deeper, 

My beloved

 

I thought,

It's so 

Fuckin'

 

Beautiful.
