Dancing lights and wild thoughts

His mind, like a broken mirror; shattered.
Piece by piece spilled onto the ground.
Along with the love for her in his heart.

Ragged rocks lay beneath his swollen feet.
As dirt covers his broken toenails.
Dust blows lightly, like her hair in the wind.

Streetlights flutter, like butterflies in stomachs.
Dancing in a sock hop above his head.
Like they use to for a quick outburst of laughter.

An ant on his leg climbs steadily for a thrill.
Only to be terminated by his sweaty palm.
Suffocating slowly, like how she claimed to be.

Heavy emotions beat on his fatigued body.
Each hit like a fighter taking control.
Only to be worn down with thoughts of her.

His ponderous eyes begin to close slowly,
as his head crashes into grassblades.
Slowly drifting as dreams of her return.
