Sequel:A Poem by Alexandra
Brown Eyes
Observe the daily routine: Remove mask at entrance Place garments on an overflowing dirty laundry basket Lay naked on a queen size mattress With the AC blaring at 65 degrees Revising the poetry book she wrote many moons ago Describing the history behind each piece What every person pulled at her She jotted down words like: "Forever" "Unrealistic" And for others she said: "This one's about the day I realized I wanted to end my life outside of my English Seminar" What no one sees upon entrance in her room Are the collection of relics she tapes on her wall Of everyone that has left her behind Or simply, faded away in time's escape A TV that isn't plugged in An empty canvas always ready to bleed with paint whenever the psychosis strikes And the books that stack up to her 5 ft body A woman so broken And torn in war She bathes in moments with people she's loved And holds onto dear life for any chance of resurrection: It's all etched in her head , it seems And all of a sudden she snaps out of her dream and says: "The Blank Verse ends here" © 2019 Alexandra |
