She opens her eyes
The wings, resting on top of her eyelids
Flutter as she tries to dilate the truth.
She sees bright clouds
but the heavy emotions that are intravenous in her veins
restrain her from floating;
they become distant and abstract
like her life is withholding, her
body is weak
because society’s words act as vampires
draining her from her being.
This is her disease
She hear trumpets.
A sweet, symphonic orchestra that sound distant
with chords of voices that scream her name.
Her eager ears play catch
chasing after the harmony of death and an unknown pensive light.
The more she seeks the further the voices become
She tries to catch them with her fingers
but the voices vibrate through them
like sheets of air.
She is now ascending from my fingertips
like a choir singing away a prayer
to an armless God.
The words that were eating her alive
are no longer there.
She is stronger now.
The wings on her eyelids are now
the wings on her back
Fluttering like my tongue when i tell her goodbye.
I close my eyes
And i feel her reviving inside of me.
Her spirit is drowning peacefully
in my blood.
She is painting my skin
a vibrant glow of true happiness.
Even though her body
is sinking in the bed
Her soul is lingering in me instead.
