Caught

Caught in decision I felt shattered and splintered, the arrows were aimed but eyes were disfigured. Out of contrast, blurred through shards of mirrored glass. Through these blurs and mixed words I slaughtered flocks of messenger birds, unable to fly and weighed down by my hurt. Mixed messages I intercepted, tales of woe, talk was slow and you're always unaffected, always so uninterested and wordless. I wonder if you're heavy hearted, if you'd still hold my hand if you knew I was departing, wake up I'm leaving, the train leaves this evening, i'd kiss you goodbye but it will just antagonize your grieving. It hurts to breathe, even- The seeds of deceit wouldn't give us both reasons. Would you help me get dressed then? Because unable to see from this unclear vision, Bow by my side, on a bed where we first tied. Everything fleeting when I try to see through your eyes, So help me pack in time, the train leaves this evening. You'll wake, when its too late and realize you've just been dreaming. -"Karl"
