I Blinked

It was raining when I blinked.
It was cold and loud and there was confusion everywhere
and then I blinked.
I’m in a different world now

Over the tree
See here
That tree
Look behind see
See
You are not alone anymore
He was beautiful
I blinked

This is lucidity girl.
Don’t go crazy.

I created mountains
Houses, castles
A village
I was in control
But I could not bring back the beautiful boy
I blinked

I can’t breathe
I’m drowning in dark water
*Blink*
It doesn’t
Work
Water just
Clouds my eyes and
I can’t resurface
I sink lower
Lower
Lower

We’re at the bottom now
Face to face
Me and the boy
He sings

“Travel with me apace
To a happy place
Laid in gold
You’ll never grow old
You’ll never have to think
Never have to blink
We’ll have each other
We’ll always be together
Come with me”

A proposal made with an outstretched
hand, smiling face, glistening eyes
And longing fills the empty space
Between
Me and the golden place
Me and his hand

The darkness wanes and
I don’t blink
My eyes close

Oh woman, what have you done

I am alive
It feels so
Great and he is
Here like
He promised
Oh I love
His hand
His smile
His---
I grip his hand tighter
“Where are you
going?”
I ask
“I never promised forever.”
*Blink*
