the tv fizzled out
i heard it interrupt the peace
while my pupils silently burned
in the white light
the fumes of lavender heavily infested
the air inside
and it burned a little
until the nurse apologized
im in this bed sinking
into the heart of it,
belonging to it.
as i take a long exhale,
you are no longer
a part of me
no longer, hanging on-
no more dreaming
within the grayscale
from time to time
i think of
how youd be named
after a flower,
because thats what you would
be to me
if i hadn't held my breath
and let you drown
