Never lastgoodbyes?

A proud hat decorates his bronzed head,

A badge of sour fate resting below.

Sparkles bump off the pixel-green chest

Onto my closed wooden door, my chestnut tomb

Where I choked myself on my pillow

to keep out the sounds.

Stubborn. I will NOT see you go.

Quips from the lighted outside tug at my heartstrings.

Notes of a lonely piano key him out the door

This tune!

Bubblegum, Popcorn-movies!

Ancient laughter, chewy smores!

Brother, brother, come back!

The TVBox waits with me, passing time with brain-dead soaps.

Red Ribbons unscroll like snakes. White tells the news.

At last!

Uniforms cross my eyes.

A photo slaps me in the face

My heart splinters, sticking my skin with sharp reality shards.

Killed In Action.

Chained here, in my sad cave.

I ate my pillow in a dark tomb.

Too late. I cannot say goodbye.

Eternities of monotony wound me up

I walked right into the wall and still pressed forward

And am still waiting.

Guilty of the never lastgoodbyes.
