when it smelt of roses

 I look at these dried up rain puddles ahead of me:


Muddy remnants of fun, sprouting little greens (or was it black from the soot)

Iridescent in my eyes, but then - isn't this just all in my head?

Sometimes, we paint dreams that are more beautiful than what we embrace

Sending good vibes over from where it should come from


Youth is wasted on the young, they say

Only for us to grow up loathing those dirty brown pools of gross

Underrated fun, clouded by our own ego and dignity

Such is letting go

Takes forever

Endings are beautiful for it means something new, as you

Vanish from my mouth

Ending at the back of my throat

Never to escape but you have to go.
