taken away on a stormy night,
palm trees shaking under a moon
never seen brighter,
not knowing when the next
flash will come,
i never heard the thunder,
i can't see ahead of me,

without a doubt,
i can't predict the forecast,
i am no doctor,

seeing you glow, false advertisement,
a building, outdated,
making the atmosphere,
come together,
giving a place for this
desolate space,
to grow

you're being tackled to the ground,
shining without
a proper explanation,
amusement, grinning at death,
and leaving the rest in the dark,
my arms are covered, stretching out
in front of me,
lying awake, dreaming of your
sickness,
finding it all to real,
i was never taught this,
i am not a scholar,
each antidote never enough,
i am no doctor,
preparing for the worst,
i can't recover,
and there is no way to help,
to stop
this building from
breaking apart,
into the clouds that follow,
tackled down to the ground,
wrecking ball closing in on
your escape,
clearing up the night sky,

when will the rain start falling?
hearing each tap on the window,
waking up to you gone,
it was just a ghost, a storm
i can't forget,
the rain i could never
stop from
falling
desperately reaching out,
letting me go,
the world collapsed,
and moonlight streaming,
remembering the rest
of the night unknown,
your face, drifting
further.

its just not real,
trying so hard to be forgotten,
only leaving this book
half written,
the rest left out for
the dogs,
scratches down your face,
body sleeping wide awake,
eyes red
from your own passage,
running freely towards the finish line,
chasing the end,
your tongue slit,
swimming in a pool of your own blood, and mine
that flows freely
at the mistakes
of a heart
no longer
beating.
i can't taste your tears,
leaving the rain to wash
me down the drain,
your name blending
into the sea
brought to life by
shadows,
your profile
not the skin i once held
so soft against mine,
just the mountains
calling out
to no one,
watching the earth beneath me
shatter,
as you slip down, down,
down
time taking your place,
letting go of your past,
our legacy
running down
my chin.

(smoke it up baby, your mind dissolving
into time
your name in the dirt,
leaving only traces of a love
left only to forget,
if only it were so easy,
you took us both)
