I Am (Not)

Sometimes I am calm
like the first ray of sunlight
at dawn
shimmering upon the sea.

And sometimes, when I am not
I am  
a raging tempest
tearing shores apart
I am an earthquake 
still and cold
as I watch them crumble to dust
I am the devouring fire
from a dragon's breath
searing the night, and
lighting up the sky 
- a burning red.

I am the burn 
that lingers in your eyes
when you wake up 
from crying yourself to sleep;
The throbbing pain
in your head
from losing count
of Jamesons you drowned in.

Sometimes I am calm
but sometimes,
when I'm not -

nessun dorma.

You

You told me You could see galaxies spiraling in my eyes that I was the silver trail of moonlight in your darkest night. I tore my walls down and grew a garden that bloomed into vivid colours so we could dance among the flowers. Heaven once felt so seamless until it began to crack and all the stars we counted faded into black. It's funny how when you're sprawled helplessly on the ground gasping for air the deafening silence sets in; you can hear your heart shatter and your soul dissolves into the bloody red mess that is you.
