Things I Hate
I hate wearing the color blue
Eating mushrooms and carrots
Driving across bridges
Being lied to
How my parents say “I told you so”
The visual image of your face
Hearing your arrogant voice
Feeling your skin rubbing against mine
Your scent that lingers on my breath
Tasting every inch of heartbreak
Flavorless food I have to force down my throat
Sleepless nights caused by unwanted thoughts of you
Not only losing you, but losing every part of myself
Tears overflowing down my soft face
Being a dead spirit in a living body
Loudly grieving in silence
When my mind begs for a quick and easy death
But yeah, I hate wearing the color blue
