The Mourning

In the dawn
my eyes opened slowly.
I was on a plane.
The light was so yellow. 
I was there, 
but you no longer were.
My body was tired.
Yours was decomposing.
My hair smelled funny.

It was mourning time
for me. 

The Coveted Chill Pill Sequence

Today I hurt him and I wish I hadn't.
I didn't try not to,
I went ahead with it. 
When I knew I was really hurting him,
I decided to hurt him more.

Then we went our separate ways. 
Me - teary eyes and yesterday's socks.
Him - tight eyebrows, coffee rimmed lips, beautiful as ever. 

I forgot I was mad.
I remembered he was mad, though

I have thought about him too much today.
In that last moment I saw him, 
he didn't even want to see me

It reminded me of the time he kicked me out of his car.
I wouldn't get out,
so he took me to a store and bought me chocolate. 

Then he took me to his house.
He put me in the shower.
He stared in my eyes 
with his eyes.

I looked really deep into his eyes that day.
I could see into his thoughts.
I could read his mind.
He loved me that day.
I knew it.
I could read his open eyes, blinking:
"Chill the fuck out", they said.
