It was blue when they covered you
An Indigo sea of nostalgia
The Earth blanketed you
tucked you in like a child
I cried; it was only natural they said
But what about the pain
Some scars can’t heal because
of the amount of broken glass within
Others can’t due to the insufferable internal bleeding
You see Charlie, knives aren’t the only things
that can leave behind scars
You told me you were just feeling a little blue
now you’re colors of decay
a blackened death, a brown wish
All now in the earth and fire
living off the fractured moonlight
Why Charlie? Why’d you do it
You told me the doctors gave you medicine
medicine to keep the monsters away
I finally understood why you destroyed
all those mirrors
I never wanted to
You have to believe me
You promised me you’d get better
You promised me you would try
You promised; “just for me”
But you lied: you are a liar
You told me you would call
you never did
I didn’t find out why
until three days later
I didn’t want to Charlie
nobody did
Remember that night you kissed me
and we heard no sounds
We were in an abyss of nothingness
and that was all that mattered
We had a starry night that constellated our smile
And the stars were so bright
without hurting your eyes
Do you remember when
we ran across the stardust water
that shimmered at our every touch
And I gave you the invisible moon to hold
if you were ever lonely
And you gave me salty lashes
too heavy to lift
The next morning you made a necklace of rope
and hung it from the garage rafters
You took your medication just as usual
and told me they would fix everything;
just like the doctors told you
and stepped off the table
so you could be what you always wanted
absolutely damn nothing
