Survivor! (Still Dreaming Of You) Poem by Agatha Eliza

Survivor! (Still Dreaming Of You)



Flying through the
broken windows of your counscience,
your thoughts embrace the form of stones!

They fall, and fall and..fall
like meteor pieces of divine flesh
all rotten, nurturing the
the dying heart of a barren earth.

Can you remember the words,
whispered to you in a thousand ways,
spiralling downwards, unheard - fading away
as butterfies with burnt-out wings,
the flickering remnants
of the final days of autumn's daze?

Oh! Those words..
their brittle bones,
spreaded by the icy breath of the wind
on the canvas-like horizon,
painting in white and blood red colours
a picture of our ragged, and long-lost love.

Have they ever touched your heart?

This longing in me eagerly devours me,
decomposing my reason, altering my thoughts
bringing me one step closer to perdition! - For so long
my hand tried to reach yours
and my lips kissed nothing but the undead ether
that left me sinking in the long streams of silence!

Somewhere, in the graveyard of my exiled hopes
the agony of my being breaks in halves;
the reality slips away from my grip
drowning me, dragging me further to its depth..
too much pain to bear...but you've first found me
sitting on the threshold of our existence,
watching, gently contemplating
two worlds far apart - yours and mine!

This is where I'll always be!

I'm still dreaming of you, still dreaming of
your colourless smile, that often made me forget
how to breathe...this is what happened
everytime i looked into your eyes!
But what was I to you? A frame of an illusion
you're now trying to push another one into?
Or was it just a sick-burning desire to be loved by me..so you could be devoured, too?
