18. during your time of being hurt, are you feeling anything?
like a brown paper bag screwed up, after the bottle has been removed, with me inside it all drunk down, that is how i felt, when i said good-bye, & the last thing i heard was your laughter, perhaps it was the cruelty of anger, or perhaps it was to cover up your own emotions, like humour in a gruesome film, the last thing i heard was your laughter, & i thought to myself, when you stop laughing, that's when i'll start, & how i survived those moments without you, then you rang two days later, when originally you didn't care, but the world had changed in your absence & surprise surprise, i wasn't there: how soft are your eyes?, what is your facial expression saying?, is it relaxed or is it set firm?, are you grimacing?, how sad is your mouth?, is it downturned & downhearted?, are you being hurt?, how lovely is your skin?, with your sad eyes looking down?, what is your facial expression saying?, is it blank & glassy or wrinkled up?, are you about to cry or laugh?, during your time of being hurt, are you feeling anything? |
