I’m still here

I’m still here

I haven’t moved forward

I stare at the orange tiles

Of the cold floor beneath me

I shivered

–

I’m still here

I haven’t moved on

I still think of your desertion

Leaving me here

I cringed

–

I’m still here

I’ll always be

I will wait for you

Didn’t I always

I waited

–

I’m still here

I still shiver, cringe, and wait

The orange tiles are still there

–

I’m still here

I haven’t moved the slightest

The only thing moving

Is my beating heart

Waiting

Pounding

Suffering

Slowly

Fading

the contrast between red and orange is visible, 

but everything will fade in time
