Unplugged

The pain collected, pooled, dripped, Slid out of my control. In the red of captured pain, Your name was lost. Somewhere, somewhere cold and unvisited, I knew why it hurt so much. You were the undercurrent to two years, Two years of collapse. I denied it, painted the wall black, Pretended it was irrelevant. But baby, you pushed the first domino. Innocent baby blue eyes darkened, To a navy that knew depression's depths. I matured, I learnt reality, It was the hardest thing I ever faced. I stumbled over the last obstacle, When I straightened you were there. We brushed the dirt off our knees, And kissed away the poison past. You unplugged your heart inbetween, But my scarred secret is, I left mine on simmer.
