Life Without You

Life Without You

A Story by Bai

Take me to the rooftop 
I wanna see the world when I stop breathing 
Take me to the ocean 
So I can hear the same waves we always listened to 
Turn up the chaos so I don't have to feel you 
I see you in the gold four doors 
I see your smile in the orange and blue above our favorite park 
I smell sage and think of you 
and when I pass my old house I can still feel your breath on my lips 
I can feel the white static on our old tv  
The night you came over with the gun 
The night you smashed in the window of car door 
The night you screamed at me and called me w***e 
I miss those nights
Late night scars cause nothing hurt that much 
pureflix and separate beds
sacred oasis flooded 
Prince Charming can't keep the devil away at night 
god really wasn't looking out for me and you 
my goal is to make you disappear 
maybe I can bury you with the people who let me go 
maybe I can lay you down with the life I never knew 
but I knew our life
the smell of fall through our window while holy music played
my incessant cleaning and desire for solitude with just you 
come to the water 
peace like a river will follow you 
you both left me 
you both left me for dead 
the late hot tub nights and pillow talks 
ten years 
ten years of stain glass windows 
ten years of shrines and spilled blood 
turns out the sacrificial lamb only covers so many sins 
shattered wine glass 
breaking the bread 
blood runs down my leg 
I cut too deep this time 
staying up all night
my thinking is twisted 
if the world was ending
you'd come over right
