Chaos Haunts My Mind
Run away into her arms
You’ll be safe there
Drowned in expensive perfume
Gluttony, let me eat the envy
12 batches of burnt chocolate chip cookies
You colored over my heart
With black sharpies
Those bittersweet memories
Leave me blind
With stained t-shirts
I thought you were sincere
But truth and lies mix
In your mouth
Simultaneously
An endless bundle of
tantrums
But my words remain silent
Listen
The wind is talking
Every drop of rain
Hitting the pavement tells a
Story of the heavens
That we can never translate
Gravity continues to weigh me
Down
My heart hangs
Onto my ankles
Is this what you saw?
When you left me in the dark
Jumping at the shadows
