The alarm stopped

Unanswered —
We never woke up.
Never overthink.
#vsspoem prompt for July 12th, 2020: Wings
Words need no weight —
They have wings.
A thinly stretched smile
#vsspoem prompt for July 13th, 2020: Fatigue
Never reaching the eyes —
Contoured in black
By fatigue, apparent —
Stares at me
From each reflection.
Moveless motion

Voiceless song —
Just a sense
The world moved on.
Love proved
#vsspoem prompt for July 15th, 2020: Skin
Eyes like graveside candles,
Pale and fragile,
Flickering in the autumn wind —
Not her temporary beauty,
Though the ghost
Beneath her skin.
I can either
#vsspoem prompt for July 16th, 2020: Pain
Release
And let you be
Or keep you safe,
Trapped in
A life, resentful.
Peace of mind —
The price I pay
For your free will.
Familiarizing unfamiliars —
#vsspoem prompt for July 17th, 2020: Familiar
Brother, sister, buddy, pal.
Smile and nod,
Distrust them all.
Minds, tribes, families —

They appear
So very different
Inside.
There's a song in my heart —
#vsspoem prompt for July 20th, 2020: Vocal
Blast beats, death metal vocals,
Telling me
To get the fuck out
And live.
At the very top
#vsspoem prompt for July 21st, 2020: Fatal
The single path higher
Takes a fatal drop.
A summer
#vsspoem prompt for July 22nd, 2020: Lush
Suited for the living —
Green and lush,
Deemed disappointing.
What strange creatures
We've become.
Fear my wrath,
#vsspoem prompt for July 24th, 2020: Mercy
Cry my mercy —
Right this wrong
Or watch your heavens
Burn.
Too close
#vsspoem prompt for July 26th, 2020: Notice
To see all of me —
The less noticed,
The more
Our distance grows.
Borrowed
#vsspoem prompt for July 25th, 2020: Borrow
Once upon a times,
Captured moments,
Leather bound —
Just add imagination.
