Shades of Blue.

Please don’t believe everything they tell you.

It was sky for a good while,

and then it was more artic.

Walked right into berry,

swam with indigo,

and dried off with navy.

Then things got lighter,

and it went ocean, teal, sapphire.

Went back to a little darker,

and it went lapis, cobalt, azure.

I think I’ve been every shade of blue.

Play Pretend.

I pretend I don’t know why you have to go.

I pretend I don’t know what’s got you feeling so low.

I pretend I don’t know why everything’s been so slow.

I pretend I don’t know why your eyes no longer glow.

When I lay my head on my pillow,

Oh how I know,

I know,

I know,

I know.

Love’s Groupie.

I push the bookshelves down.

I delete the playlist I’ve always kept around.

I unsubscribe from any service that streams movies.

I’m tired of being love’s groupie.

Hopeless romantic,

the space between real love and I is as wide as the Atlantic.

They made me believe that you were magic,

and that you were on the way.

All you ever fucking did,

was stay away.

Signed.

I chew on a lemon rind,

but it doesn’t work.

Everything I want to say to you is fucking unkind.

I love you,

but I hate you,

for being so blind.

I love you,

but I hate you,

for leaving me behind.

I love you,

but I hate you,

for hurting my pride.

I love you,

but I hate you,

I know you tried.

Signed,

–S.

Wild.

Deep in the woods,

I’m covered in soot.

I’m howling at the moon,

why’d you leave me so soon?

I burned it all down,

you tried to turn it around,

but you had to leave me wild.

I’ve been hungry for love since I was a child.

I’m needy,

a little greedy,

how’d you leave me,

so easy?

–S.

Do stray dogs go to heaven?

It feels like I’ve never belonged to anybody but me.

Do stray dogs go to heaven?

I guess I’ll find out and see.

I’ve been searching and I’ve found no trace.

Is home a thing, person, or place?

If you could give me this one kindness, and just let me know.

I need some help knowing where to go.
