tonight i said goodbye, but i should've said more.

[its_my_party_x]

she asked me how much
time until tomorrow starts
and it just killed me to say
that we were nine minutes in
and the clock was ticking eights
but the alarm clearly screamed
midnight twelve times
and my watch was the only
positive thing in the room
tapping out the seconds
of the minutes creating
this sickening violet hour
with light lavender screams
and sighs of very near blue
your tears are just three shades
away from blood red
i can barely say they're not
and it killed me to say
we were nine minutes in
when she had so many ideas
to break this violet night in half
and these purple walls will seal
this burgundy promise
i'll be here in the morning
until your clock stops ticking eights,
until my ears stop ringing
from this promised heartbreak.
