Mar 2014
Choke on the shavings of my heart
that melt in your mouth
that stain your teeth and gums
like thick jagged crayon that smears across your smile.
The waxy dribbles a trail down your pastel colored
your collared shirt
In blues and yellow green and red and brown and grey
I tried creating peace and pride and color to your life
You added me to your own empty pallet
and you colored-
Wildly
You let the shades of me melt right into your hands
and I grazed over the lines in your palms
I was smooth
Now my labels been ripped, down to crumbles, oily grit underneath your fingernails -  
I hear that you're not much into art anymore
