blink and I disappear
My heart only steps out
For one slight minute
For just that one second
I express a voice for you to listen
A voice – my voice
That very one you have tried to drown
Deep in the crevices of your mind
blink and I disappear
Suddenly I’m an apparition
No longer a constance
But a heavy soul
Weighed down in this word
This world – your world
The world that quietly sits head bowed in the corner of the bar
And swallows awkward conversations mixed in cocktails
blink and I disappear
I feel myself fading
With the first of the light
My rage now a resignation
Words breathe out their last
These words – my words
The ones that were penned
On silent soulless nights
You blink and I’ve disappeared
Drifting away from a wasted life
You’ve walked away
Like you always did
Like it meant nothing
This life – my life
That only dwells in your darkness
And embraces your nights like a friend
****
An Afterthought –
Nights are like ocean tides where I flow,
Your unending dream.
