baby
how did you fool my heart
into believing that you were the home
i had been searching for
when really
you were the one
who left me homeless

taking advantage
of her patience
is abuse

We change and we fall,
We change when it’s fall, brown, red
Crumpled and stepped on.

You're vapor that
Claws at people
waves red flags
that say
send help

Watch them walk by

They always get tired of you
You get lonely of them
You cross them off your list
Crosses are your talent

Wait awhile
to become a raincloud

the wandering kind
adrift and heartless
looking for a place
that's something like
home.

sometimes it's four
walls, sometimes
it's a mouth and a
heartbeat.

you always want me
to find home in you
and i am a tireless sea;
always drifting away.

always leaving
some of myself
behind.

always leaving you
wishing I'd
stay.
