deflated

and tarnished

bleak

tainted streets

celsius subzero

no heroine, no hero

will retrieve you

from other side of rainbow

.

now ashen

impassive

indifferent

apathetic

pathetic helium balloon I am

deflated

.

Not gone.

Done.

.

tarnished

oxidized coin

no one’s first choice

not enough to make anyone rejoice

theoretically whole

in one piece

still recognizable

bare minimum fulfilled.

.

Yet practically

pointless

formless

useless

restless

just less

without you

.

hovering above ground

barely

neither here nor there

waiting for the plus degrees

please ease

my being

unfreeze

stop the tease

at least

Let me be.
