response to mark’s 1st october 2021 instagram post
optical.
your absence would mean that i cease to exist
life without you would be completely meaningless
watching the world go by with perfect clarity
but not really seeing the way i did with you
i need you to stop me from wasting away in a corner of the universe
show me the light, give me purpose
i would be content to stay in noir because you’re all the colour i need
and in the end, i am the optical to your illusion
