I can't write in colour here
But you'll know what I mean...

My eyes are propped with matchsticks
I haven't slept for weeks...

Love
is not...

Drag your lies across my skin
I want to feel the pain...

A bright arc of hues adorn the sky
And on my tongue and for my lips...

The cheerful chirps are fewer now
Proud plumage plucked and bare...

She fluttered demure lashes
And licked full rosy lips...

You play with words like toys
Making them twist and turn...

Oh my word I'm snotty
It feels like winter now...

If you could take an eraser
To the bits of life that sucked...

This dance we do is out of step
No harmony and no respect...

The night creeps, creaks and groans
No one else here, home alone...
