Blue Paint

I sang you a lullaby 

every note lobotomized 

as it fell from my lips 

it wrote itself 

you left me 

I couldn’t leave bed 

I drew the shades 

and wrote on the walls 

in languages I didn’t know 

in long dead runes

vagrants and valentines  

folly and funerals

Long lost loves and lullabies 

I sketched it in tears and in sweat and in your expensive fountain pens 

I sealed up the work 

in baby blue 

too bad I got it on my favorite jeans

  Digging this one so much.

 

Digging this one so much. It hits home and it very much describes the sometimes soft yet crushing violence of heartache. Phenomenal write lady!


"It is a terrible thing to be so open. It is as if my heart put on a face and walked into the world" -- Sylvia Plath.
