Broken Promises
By xX pretty vacant Xx
i saw you this morning.
hanging from my light fitting.
impossible?
well i saw you.
i saw your face.
empty.
blue lips and deadened stare.
those eyes that i loved so much.
dead.
staring straight through me.
and just like they told me,
needles
on the floor.
and just like they told me,
arms cut open.
staining my floor a deep shade of red.
those eyes...
just like they told me,
dead.
i saw you this morning.
arms hanging lifelessly by your sides...
grey skin stretched over your bones...
you looked even thinner than i remember you...
i wanted to check
to see if you still had my scar.
if you still had that tattoo
paul did on your shoulder
when we were drunk.
i wanted you to talk.
i wanted to ask you so much.
i wanted to know
what it was like...
those last few seconds....
what went through your head.
blue lips and deadened stare.
those eyes that i loved so much.
not blue anymore...
just grey.
those eyes....
just like they told me
i saw you hanging there.
i know now i'll see you again.
but i know it won't be okay.
i know the ending now.
i know we won't be alright...
but you promised me....
