Crazy
You made me crazy
I never loved someone so much
I would travel over mountains over seas
Crazy
You made me crazy
I left everyone who loved me
Until they no longer knew me
That's crazy
I see my crazy
My children have no strong bonds
Their love is unattached
Crazy
Yeah that's crazy
After all I gave myself up for you
And you trashed me
Such a tragedy
We were meant to be
Instead
My love went
Crazy

Don't you worry about me
I'll take the good with the bitter
Words are something
Repeated
Over and over

I consider it all joy
Even when we suffer
Like the string from my sweater
Snagged and unraveled
barely a thread left

Because
it never was mended
you see my dear
I've been suffering
as long as I can remember
What is one more day

The **** is so thick
It is impossible to clean now
It has caked onto the walls
Sickening as it is
When you see it you close your eyes
Still it is there and you now know
You know as soon as you follow
Unfollow
It's now in your brain
Because without taste
It was in your face
Instagram ****

It's blurry
Why
A smear of reasons
I venture
Back
Stumbling upon words
I didn't think
I'd see
Back to poetry

Maybe I can't explain it
How it feels
Like a cool crisp wind
When the dew is on the blades
Fresh in the morning air
It takes your breath
And a shiver comes over you
Pulling tighter the sweater around you
Grasping for warmth
It pierces through the stiches
As if the barrier is too thin
So you move
Jump in place
Going nowhere
Trying to get warm
But there are no walls of protection
From that wind
That morning wind is cold
Cold like ice
Cold like him

Soft small fingers
reach down
& pluck
the fresh tip
of a blooming daisy

Proudly proclaiming
"For you!"
Handing up the stub

All smiles
You snicker and
Happily accept

Even if
there is no stem
you grin and say
"How beautiful"

You ask me to sing to you
To write you a song
A love song
A triumph for you
That's something I won't do
When you go away
I will write for someone better
Someone true
Someone who is absolutely
Nothing like you
