misdirection
and denial
Image Created on Midjourney
I know I should’ve smelt the burning wood
But I was too focused on the taste of forgiveness, warm on my tongue
I should’ve heard the ambulance siren as it came for me
But I was too busy looking at you to see the bridge alight with flames
I didn’t even feel the sticky red seeping through my white t-shirt until it was too late and I was dying from it
