RJ


A list of suitors in your coat pocket lets the madness overwhelm The galoshes stained from the rain of sarcastic tears or cynical fears A shimmering stain singular carries pain relative to your threshold Daftly dance, Doll for your hips hold hearts in belt loops as chains Cast them aside, but give hope Leave a trail for me, please I'll beg, plead Until a hole of despair brings me to my knees Keep your eyes they only reflect never offering a retreat just another battle Trod upon fields of marigolds and tulips open, wild-eyed, free A mile away lies the bars of a cage within the depth of a Heart the shallow emotions incredibly Human incredibly over-analyzed Pardon me, it seems your carbon is thieved Live on in another pond ever-colored red
