Blow-dried TearsA Poem by Laura Ex
Blowing the tear drops down my face with a hair dryer
To see which one will reach the bottom of my cheek first Which one will drip drop to the ground or imprint itself in my shirt Hope flutters too easy in this chest of mine And chills make their way too fast up my spine This world is too full of so many people When I myself am so confused and lost How can I ask directions to the wreck When it's been inside me all along I feel hints of envy now Imagine if you were taken How happy you'd be How glad I'd be for you And how much I'd hate myself Because covetousness would most definitely show And I have no shirts to match the shade it is And I have no tears to match how much it will hurt And this is what I also have done And continue to do © 2010 Laura Ex |
