Naive


  • My dead misery pours out,
  •  
  • these eyes, bloodshot, my lips pout
  •  
  • Empty of love, feeling and meaning
  •  
  • What is a life to live like this?
  •  
  •  
  •  
  • Captivated, the twirl of your wine
  •  
  • The picture she took of you it stings
  •  
  • But why? The smug look on your face?
  •  
  • How and why does it trigger me?
  •  
  •  
  • And in the end its all comedic
  •  
  • A quick laugh and you won't feel it
  •  
  • You wonder how in life this happens
  •  
  • Maybe I am too naive
  •  
  • The experience on the other side, too strange it seems
  •  
  •  
  • It's not enough for you to kiss me in the morning
  •  
  • Because its bereft of any substance 
  •  
  • my pondering room I escape 
  •  
  • to friends, interactions that help me forget
