~ Layers upon layers, flaking residue... scraping at the inner walls of my heart, priming the ruins of my disassembled dreams while masking off all hope of bleeding out or bleeding on “Dare I bleed in the color of missing you?” Scratches filled in with crayon, vacant hues... only on or outside of the lines of love Woeful stick figures dancing to a lonely song, played by the empty roller lashed to my hand “Would you dare touch my handprints....smear them?” Minutes take hours to pass, but who cares, Que Sera Sera... the old Zenith finds Doris Day happy, nice someone can be stirring a smile within a gallon of semi-(g)loss “Why is the sale brand in barren tones?” I cringe at the thought of another moment in this position, base boards... bent over and touching up, flat lining without an edge, waiting for your touch, your tinted smile...waiting your approval “Like watching paint dry...”

"Like watching paint dry..."
