Fade to Black

when the stars don’t shine anymore:
do you stop gazing at the sky
or just sit still,
watching the tapestry fade to black.

maybe black’s not that bad.

you stopped resonating with green.
you stopped ordering your go-to meal.
that’s alright, right?

the restlessness stays
the chaos doesn’t sediment.

you’ve forgotten how to swim
so you ride on the waves
tasting the salt at times.

but its okay
because at least you’re not drowning.

maybe you’ll build new favourite on the graves on your old ones.
maybe you’ll muster up the courage again to hit “play” on true love by coldplay.
maybe you’ll spend a lot of time figuring yourself out.

but hey,
that’s okay, right? right?
