sometimes you need to
believe when people say
everything will be alright otherwise;
anything's going to drive
you insane and you'll reach
the point where everything
seems like a blur;
like unexpressed charcoal
emotions beaded with unshed
tears or ripped portraits of
unloved faces.

your aura is a masterpiece
of the blues;
you're faded azure when
you're in love and sprinkled
with oblivious dawn blues
and you're a calm ocean
but, seething with watery
wars that are fought with
blood in your mind.
