Change

Change

A Poem by Beatrice Mars

Rainbow was her

Name, but her

Favourite colour

Was black,

Unless she slipped up,

Then it was red.

 

She didn't like change,

But she could never stay

Still,

She didn't like change,

Which is why she

Loved her tattoos.

 

She never forgot, didn't

Often forgive, but she would

Always regret.

 

She was chasing

The wind, always wanting

What she couldn't have,

Always letting it slip through

Her fingers, because she was never

Sure what she wanted.

 

She married a guy

Who had the same last name.

(She didn't like change)

 

He smoked and had right wing

Views, but she let that

Slip,

She wanted him and she couldn't

Change him.

 

She watched smoke

Slip from his lips,

Changing shapes as she cried.

She loved change.

 

He wanted kids,

But she didn't.

She loved him, but she

Didn't want change.

 

He cheated on her, with a

Woman who (was a lie)

Dyed her hair

And liked change.

 

So, with love tattooed

Across her knuckles,

She punched the

S**t out of him.

(She wouldn't let this slip.)

She never forgot, didn't
Often forgive, but she would
Always regret.

this really reminds me of something...... but i can't remember what.... :/ i really like it though. all of it. but the last stanza sliiiiiightly less than the rest... i don't know just the tone seems different.. but maybe that works because it ties it off.... or something.. (can you tell my brain has shut down for the day??)
love love. xxx
