I do believe that eyes
Are windows to the soul.
And while you peek in,
Tell me, how visible
Are the shatters?
***
Because I’m a grass streak on society
That can’t be washed out
Just call me an ink stain
Since my words call you out
***
Oh, Big Book of Everything,
If all’s fair in love and war
Why do you cry wolf?
And why do I feel so slighted?
***
Rain is wet
The Pope is Catholic
The sun is hot
And you are fool’s gold.
***
For two years I played
Your game of Russian roulette
For reasons beyond me
I didn’t wind up dead
***
Refer to the drawing board
There’s a rock and a hard place
Love like yours are a dime a dozen
But they cost an arm and leg
***
All you are
Is a chip on my shoulder
I can roll with the punches
But I’ve never been more done
***
You say ‘no girl ever stays’
But if you want the truth,
A girl would have
And I couldn’t stay so young.
