“I’m not alone on purpose”
That’s what I tell people these days
But loneliness is the best outcome
I can’t hurt others
Without hurting myself
Bleeding hearts
Better stay away from me
“I’m a shade-loving plant.”
Stay away from this carcinogenic body
I like my dark green corners
Or hope for a morning that isn’t too bright
For my Eyes
I admire my darkness
Fondness grows in the shade
Coolness of Blue solitude
No expectations
My words might betray me from time-to-time
And I’m unreliable from time-to-time
I have a voice that says unspoken things
Chaos soothes my soul
I’m clearing a path
And you might understand it
From time-to-time
But they will never fall exactly the way I meant them
Not in Love
Not in Loneliness
Just like a carousel
Encircling the snake
Golden water
Facing the other way from the sun.
