lonely


the cut on my gum bleeds

as my feelings bleed onto the page

you make me  feel so lonely

is there anything wrong with me?

what did i do so wrong?

i fucked up

you fucked up worse

and you want an apology?

i can't write everything i feel

i can't tell you how i am

i am not articulate when i need to be

i am so lonely

i see two colors

red or grey

red when i am angry

grey when i begin to fade.
