[357] Answers That Linger

The light explodes into the roomโฃ
burning up your skinโฃ
revealing how i see you in my mindโฃ
Have you ever drowned in the air โฃ
because the heaviness of the momentโฃ
is sometimes too much to bear?โฃ
When answers become more importantโฃ
than the questions we dared ask each otherโฃ
When our thoughts need expressionsโฃ
beyond the abstract to create disorderโฃ
to create the new orderโฃ
โฃ
The light dies out as if โฃ
you consumed it all โฃ
Your radiant red skin โฃ
a contradiction of what โฃ
you actually feelโฃ
You speak in brokenโฃ
blue sentences butโฃ
you think in floods that devoured villagesโฃ
and earthquakes that formed mountainsโฃ
My simple answer swirls inside your mindโฃ
as the night falls and the night callsโฃ
the anxiety that you fought so wellโฃ
that might return because I simply said ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ

    • Yes but in a sense that when you dread something you usually don’t want to speak much. So you speak in few words because you know the answer already. So instead of fully formed sentences you speak in broken blue sentences.
