i'll pretend you don't exist

Just so I can breathe,
Without feeling the familiar scents
Of heartache.
A summer of collected memories,
Thrown into a book with torn out pages.
Who knew knives and hearts
Went together so well,
Just like words and hands.
28 seconds, 14 hours and 53 weeks
Of frozen fingertips and mending minds.
Watching life disappear, second by second.
Painting dull rainbows and colour-blind flowers
On the wall that knows too much
And whispers in my ear, when the sun dims.
Let's just pretend you don't exist.
For a second, maybe two.
Long enough for me to fall
Asleep.



Stupid me, didn't curl all my hair so there are some straight bits.
