Barely Alive
November 24, 2011
Invisible tears tear through my brain and rip a gaping entrance into my heart
Blue droplets of rain and a black hard pavement
Yellow lines and a sad face hidden behind smiling characters sent on a palm leech
Black and full of what keeps me alive
Red clouds of confusion, hurt, and angst from the clashing talons of two robins in the rose garden
Appearing vicious only in sounds but beautiful to the naked eye
