Straight as a ruler she skimmers the walls, hissing, "Leave me alone because I'm lonely." And so the bugs, one by one, clunk and fall.
Tulips douse themselves with dew, hiding from common sunlight. To her, they're tearing up like third graders in time out, so she moans and groans and waits for the weary.
She wants to be friendly, make friends, and maybe even cry. Yet she plots and plans as if she were a master mind. Constantly reminded that not one person would know if she died.
Peek in the tree house, the basement, the yard. Check for blue stains that she Dripped on the rug. Lurking and craving to be smaller than dust.
She pokes and prods at all of their blinds, as they slice thin arms allowing veins to cry. Glance up to see a girl in blue, they simply explain that their eyes are too dry to.
In the laundry room past mud-coated boots and holey socks, she pulls off her blue garments. As they soak in sud, she proceeds to drown them in bleach.
While hanging on the line, she fills up an abandoned sand bucket with paint bluer than her eyes. Placing one foot after another, flinching inside.
It absorbs up her skin, leaking into her pores, thinking of how she can't affect anyone at all. So she holds her head under the paint a second too long.
