It wouldn’t be the blues,
if once in a great while
you dropped by with a smile
and some speck of good news.

boiling water

They say,
if you throw a frog
in boiling water
it will hop right out.

But, if you turn
up the heat
slowly,
it will boil to death. 

I did not realize
that the heat
was inching
upwards
and upwards.

I was swimming
in burning water,
in blissful ignorance
of when
it would all come
crash down.

I did not know
that I was boiling.

In my nightmares,
Oh my, oh my,
I see huge trees,
Touching the sky.

i don't know why somedays i'm completely over you.
but others it's like i'm laying face down in quicksand, being consumed by the memories of you.
the more i struggle
the worse it gets.
so i lay still
as you pull me
under.
"winter is coming" they said.
"agree" i replied, 'cause i started overthinking about relationships with my friends.
i understood that i have not lots of friends to trust that i used to believe and it's fine. it's better to live when scales are fallen from the eyes.

my wine glass heart
meant to fill with
skies i'll claim
blue to peach to white
i dropped it
with wine drunk hands
painted the remains
with the skies
it was meant to hold
