Today Flew Up Like Fireworks
Habitually smiling hands, knotted at the knuckles,
Help up high, until their beautiful demise,
The elegance- nothing short of pure.
When at its brightest brought down to Earth.
The light eternal now a dull blur,
Your future blew up like fireworks.
How eager, striking the lovely match,
A flame once internal,
Now leaves its marks over your body.
No one covets the past like the pain those pills do not set free.
I search my brain, for one immaculate blanket,
To cover your body and absorb your calloused skin.
I found no such blanket, I found no miracle medicine.
You are my vigil.
The match lit by my little sister wavers in the wind
But heats me no matter how weary.
Help up high, until their beautiful demise,
The elegance- nothing short of pure.
When at its brightest brought down to Earth.
The light eternal now a dull blur,
Your future blew up like fireworks.
How eager, striking the lovely match,

Now leaves its marks over your body.
No one covets the past like the pain those pills do not set free.

To cover your body and absorb your calloused skin.
I found no such blanket, I found no miracle medicine.
You are my vigil.

But heats me no matter how weary.
