Hush

An abstract poem

Hush, darling
I don't want to listen
Your lies and fears
Hush

Silently eyes
Lose, colorless
Irridescent
Incandescent
The lights of life
Burned out.

Tick tick time gone
Broken
Fifteen sixeen fifteen
Back and forth
Through our time

Spirals
Encompass
Yourself
Ever-tightening
Circles I draw
Constricting you
Heart on my paper
Like I've doodled
Thousands of times
Now it's your heart in mine

Falling ahead
To a future
Burns dimly
Without you
And this
String I
Found in your
Hand cold wet
Tied on my lamp

Under my bed
Lie still
Still smells
Sleepovers
Late nights
And the way you
Laughed
Cried
Screamed

Told you
Too soon
Incredible
In the woods
The house
And my love
Windows
Killed it alll
Gone
Hush, darling
