Just words

On the day when a flower bloomed in the sky I stood on the balcony, watching through my binoculars A girl in a neighboring house, getting dressed I watched as she prepared for her daily quest I was so happy, I didn’t even notice As the air around me was turning red So I inhaled a little cloud of prickly mist And then my breath forever ceased to exist My body leaked out with cranberry syrup My binoculars shattered, falling in a blur I fell to the floor, writhing in agony But I felt no pain and I couldn’t scream Back then I didn’t have time to realize I just breathed in some slow poison that appeared On the day when a flower bloomed in the sky In the last hour of summer snow’s goodbye At midnight my soul became an empty shadow It detached from my body like a drop of invisible ink Sliding through the seams of frozen windowsills Losing itself in unfamiliar shadows and chills Trying to seep through the asphalt’s grip I got stuck to someone’s shoe tip Climbing up their stockings, I entered their skin And once inside their heart, I greedily took it in Devouring their sleepy soul with gentle care I spreaded my thorns, welcoming the stranger’s mind I subjugated a new body, reborn once more It didn’t matter that it was wrong to do The previous tenant was likely dead So I didn’t care what kind of monster I’d become instead On the day when a flower bloomed in the sky In the dying gasp of a fading year’s goodbye
