User blog:Mended Mooncalf/city of lights (gross poem thing)

ive been thinking to myself how i havent written that much recently so i made this thi ng i guess. inspired by the weird song i found on my discover weekly thank you weird song

other notes: i made this entire thing in roughly one (1) class period instead of doing work so it probably sux feel free to give any feedback because im semi proud of my writing here for once

the song it was inspired by, rhythmically and thematically: city of lights by the music tapes

the title is not permanent and ill either revise and expand on the "city" aspect or find a better title lol open to suggestions

ALSO i would put everything in the cambria font but i found out that that takes effort and i. cannot. lazy. also it refuses to be unbolded so its just stuck like that permanently i guess

city of lights

now 

limned by 

the dust

now

we lie falling

away

our lights hang in

the dust

fading

away

please don’t go

please don’t go away

vellum crumbling

in my hands

sticks to my

fingers

my tongue crumbling

sticks to the roof of

my mouth

crumbling

away

scriptures fading

away

structures falling

away

our lights flickering

away

please don’t go

please don’t go away

dust lining

the rooftops

as they molder

away

our lights sputter

away

my light dancing

away

my gaze winking

away 

this place sighing

away 

the dust that 

it breathes

only brings it further

within

takes us further

away

please don’t go

please don’t go away

our lights sputter

away

the dust takes us

away 

my eyes water 

where i lay

as i grasp at

the dust

in my lungs

in my lungs

my eyes flutter

away 

my heart falters 

away

our lives crumbling away

away

please don’t go

please don’t go away

please don’t go away

decay
