Chased

He was ablaze

burning up the road

but fire can't last forever

Slowly

slowly

he waned

He was the moon

but forever couldn't breathe

And the tides drowned him

Only remembered

by the remnant of smoke

and the absence of light.

he withered

fell apart

Like a blossom

who forgot what water was

And vanished

Just smoke

and the absence of light

Instead of a blazing fire.

…

Missing

where was he?

Screaming and shrieking

I couldn't take

Couldn't cope

Where was my brother?

My spark of a brother

That used to breathe life into the world

forgotten air

and the absence of him

Where was he?

Missing

…

Another regret

He told me

That he was chased

I didn't listen

I wrote it off

As his beautiful

Imagination

Forgot that he wasn't always

going to be here

That I was supposed to listen

Not write him off

Just another regret

…

No happy ending

Years ago

I once had a brother

He was my spark of life

Dripping pastels fading

to monochrome

Just smoke

And the absence of light

Forevermore

Without him

If I had listened?

Maybe life wouldn't be monochrome

For me

No happy ending
