We validated our friendship by roping our wrists with daisy chains and
stapling to our foreheads the imaginary contracts we signed
in the blood that'd coursed through our veins
we uttered promises which fluttered in the air and
adorned us like forest fires in winter
Out of the corners of our eyes seeped glass, our
lashes weighted by painful memories of a future that could never be
fulfilled and of a past that was.
I found comfort in their presence and blissfully
revelled in my own hypocrisy as I pushed away
the notions in my head that illustrated the weakness of tears
I plunged into the depths of my mind : words
words that I couldn't translate
regardless of my efforts
And so
conversations remained unregistered in our minds
holding no value
We stood at a crossroads with one another
It all unravelled as my absence loosened the seams that bound us
all
but I do not bear the burden of the blame
I created an out
loopholes I sewed into the fibres of our contracts
I plucked the staples which healed as scars on my forehead
The only similarity in our blood was its colour
It proved thinner than water.
