I expand

Poem

By RAOMPublished 21 days ago 1 min read

I expand,

like the time of my heart.

Dust, emptiness, light, and air.

There is no wind.

And you stand there, laughing indifferently.

You opened your arms to another embrace.

...

Transparent clocks on the glass

keep turning.

And the leaves suddenly

forgot to whisper.

...

Unknown,

they do not look at me.

Your eyes, emeralds—

Pain, poison, that is what I will be now.

...

I cry, I hurt, I beat myself.

Alone at night, like a shadow,

I walk the streets.

...

There is no star left to sing

and gently lull my little soul to sleep.

...

Where are you? I am finished.

May you always be well.

...

The drink of betrayal—

Pour it over my corpse.

Ekphrastic
