Do not scream at me when you are drunk

C

Indigo clouds

Dripping of vertigo

Oozing blue through cracks in the sky

Blood seeping into the fresh linen

No golden lining here

Except in your infinite rage

As you blink, light flashes in the depths of your eyes

Forever shifting from turquoise to silver

Smoke billows behind your eyelids

And tears cascade down your fair face

I am leaving forever

And your gentle facade hardens to ebony

This flood of pain and fear drenches me

You’ve been up in the thin air again

As I run, I hear your thundering cries

Do not scream at me when you are drunk
