eight eternities

You bragged about

The hollow space in your chest and

The callousness of your skin and

The closure you withheld

❀

You bragged about your mountain top views

And lived for twisting the knife

❀

I rotted away on rock bottom

For eight eternities before

I clawed my way to oxygen

❀

Fifteen months later and

I am dancing under an everlasting sunrise

❀

I will hold my happiness with both hands

And whether you are bathing in euphoria or not

I could not say I care
