last day off

last year

a shakey handoff

(at best)

constantly choosing between

life and sleep

haven’t slept in years

when i do;

my dreams were a gothic spinoff

love interest played by wednesday.

black and white lens

for thee ending send-off

all black molotov

(for those who couldn’t be here)

with fireworks

and a rip off.

a new letter, new address

Dear ,

did you believe

we’d get here

all those years

i remember us as kids;

heading home from school

(that’s the first time we kissed)

it’s seared into my lips

like a memory

a memory

of younger days

and it burns

like a bad knee in the rain

rainy days

bring these memories flooding back

& here

here today

i wonder what you are up to

we should grab a bite

sometime

love,

sam

yellow feet

in the valley of the fallen

we have no eyes

bound by moon and leaves

we leave our mortal feet

in the valley we fall in

our souls take flight

mirror of a feat

you show before you leave

we are the valley of the fallen

song of yellow

scared moths of the flames

a thunderous bark

n will call again

in fellow yellow
