vague and bittersweet
hold on for the reprieve
and carry me away
with sights I'll never see
the words written that night
were in a secret code
I broke it with one bite
and swallowed it whole
they wallowed in my heart
as they trickled to my belly
and I dreamt of somewhere far
as the weight of truth became heavy
and then I woke in crystal skies
with blurred eyes and swollen cheeks
and I walked out of your life
with a broken heart and a body weak
