black and blue

smoke hangs soft in the kitchen

like a swimmer's long hair

pushed smoothly by currents

no one could see there

and the sun slips down

to sit on my sink

as i turn black and blue

slowly starting to think:

your rhyme is like lime

great, after tequila

but I know how you feel- a,

loner and bitter

unstable but strong

we had something so real

but it didn't take long

before we we both cracked

and with it the bond

but now i obsess on simile

and confess to to sad, simple apostrophe

when I should have said

what you mean to me

and described you the way

only I can see

but I'm probably vain

and must have been wrong

cause I've felt before

that I'd always be alone

though while in your arms

I felt so at home

while we both did sleep

window cracked for a breeze

with both of our dreams

dripping into the streets

but it was honey, and warm

and safe under the sheets

where I listened to your running

subconscious spring

I could see all your thoughts

but can't wear your ring

then we watched rising tides

break over your head

and how i still miss

being rocked in your bed
