Kathy’s Song
I built you a monument in acid rain – my blood work just for you.
You made me feel like somebody.
Eventually, just like a child of entertainment.
Perpetuously, I oscillated between blind trust and pain.
A new error, as I see now – in my grief, the aftermath.
Only love can hurt like this.
And yet, I still believe it to be beautiful.
In a manner of speaking, I am just an analog guy in a digital world.
But not tonight. Because hope dies painless.
Red eyes from the pill I took.
For now, I am a robot, hear me glitch.
Sister of night, help me exit the grey.
Because black August has come already.
I know, the crow of Thanatos
Read the rest of the poem Show less
will guide me with the cold song.
The dreams are dead, but will be reborn
with grounds, stones and ancient spells.
But never ever, you will run me out again.
And so, I am still smiling,
looking for the rain to come.
