She sighs
He sighs The world is such a confusing face. Nothing is what it seems … such an overused phrase…as old as time… but always correct. Time doesn’t change anything. It does not make something correct incorrect… or vice versa. "I believe we are to blame" she said staring fixed at the moon. He just saw her… he had been in that bench some months before. "I DESIRE" he thought… but just not enough… The grass slowly grew so soflty no one could hear it… while a summer sent flooded the park. The city lights made everything brighter… everything prettier. Maybe she is like those who are distracted by shiny objects. From night to dawn to dawn to dusk. Wake up pretty face … the bus is gonna leave you again Take the car… take the bus… you are big now… just every parents dream. A smart boy in the university. The garbage … what a stinky place. They pick the notebook, they pick the pen they think and think. The inspiration has run dry…just for now. Silence. His brother likes better his writing when its not overdone Who is to blame when the show is done? Do we have a price since we are born? A huge supermarket where one enters and leaves. Decides what is worth to buy and what HE THINKS its ROTTEN inside. But in every red apple there is a worm. The sin the sin the sin! The stars rise once again. She picks up a paper with 6 months old ink that reads "La memoire d'une vie, la pensée d'un nouveau jour, et je me demande si les étoiles vont être égal?" She had asked that. Look yourself in a mirror. What do you see? Fuck her then! What are you so afraid of?... The door is locked the windows are closed its hot and humid, last days of summer. The sun is just setting down. Oh! Yes, to even things up, the girl is in her house thinking about you. But oh well! That’s not your problem is it? You wash your hands and everything around you is clean. But its filthy its humid and wet. Your bed has a stain of blood on it now. Guess who knocks the door. She’ll cry again tonight, don’t worry about that. One thing over the other. She needs to get it out of her system. "Don’t do anything stupid." The words have stayed with her… through this night. Such an egocentric drama queen, so fixed on herself she admits it with pride. But someone is pulling her hair now. And he, well he. He is as mysterious as the clouds in the night sky. Indecision, doubt, darkness, and self-control. We might find him dead one day. He writes and cries, and cries and writes. And practices self-inflicted surgeries in his arm; reopening the wounds. His skin is used… just like the skin in her thighs. Used. Filthy. Dirty. Used. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, they’ll sleep tonight. |
