Acid Drops

She was staring out the window

The sun reflected off her glasses, casting

Rainbows over my desk-- I reached

Out to touch it, wondering why they

Always disappear.

A cigarette rested between her 

Fingers, dripping ashes onto the

Carpet like soldiers drop bombs

Dripping acid rain all over the 

Carpet stains

She looked my way and asked,

"Where do they all go?"

But it's hard to answer when you've

Been watching acid drip all

Over your vision

The glare brought lines across my

Eyes-- She looked grey in between

Them-- It made me wonder 

Where it all went. There used to

Be people here...

Things fade. I thought I saw her

Move-- That was wrong. 

I thought I saw her fly somewhere

I couldn't see-- I never see 

Where it ends

I thought I saw her die somewhere

Somewhere I couldn't be

I thought I saw her-- But

I never see where it 

Ends
