all green and red
and black and gray
how do you do this
how can you make me
feel this way
–
all gold and orange
and sunset strewn
with stars upon your eyes
you move me with
your denial
you move me with
your disease
–
I ache into you
all blue and yellow
black and green
I ache into you
your seeping pores
like a drug I burn
inside of you
–
but you never see me
down, you never
see me shine
you never see my
Peacock tail
my confident walk
you never even try
–
all blue and green
and gold and brown
I will find my way to you
I will break your
shell
–
all green and red
and black and gray
how do you do this?
how can you make me
feel this way
