---

frozen under the twilight

churning the bowels

of your nostalgic presence

that lives deep within me

burdened by regret

I weep, goodbye

I've sliced open my arms

to watch you pour out of me

but even then

you'd never leave

I roam these desolate streets

in hope to find myself

silhouettes of you

appear in the road

I walk ahead

don't even call an ambulance

as I re-awake

you slowly begin

to fade into ash

each stain of your memory

flows into my veins

running into my beating chest

discharged

to wander the empty streets

searching for you

but you've never returned
