Everything Passed in a Blur
Coldness enveloped me that day, like a crusting of ice had formed over my soul.
Everything passed in a blur
I could feel it, the constant stabbing pain and bile rising up in the back of my throat as they spoke.
Everything passed in a blur
Days fade to weeks, weeks to months as the dead eyes of the girl in the mirror looked back at me.
Everything passed in a blur
I was sick, hollow to the point that something else had taken refuge inside of me..
Everything passed in a blur I choked down the pills and gulped down the water it was metallic like blood.
Everything passed in a blur
I found what was left not really all there eyes closed instead of in that questioning stare.
Everything passed in a blur
I promised the next time we meet that we would linger together, for why rush when we have forever. Everything will NOT pass in a blur
