Dreams of fantasy never intersected on any axis.
Blue was blue, green was green, never mixed in this universe.
Nausea, ashamed, confined to a single body.
Was there a color for you in the blackness? Tell me.
I am burdened with the longing to reach you amid my pains.
If reaching out to you was hard, you could have said so.
You are the strangest triad I have ever failed to tame.
Is it easier for you to give up and fall asleep?
I try to cool my pains with ice.
They have begun to melt along with me.
It would have been easy to erase you.
You escaped, but ultimately from me.
