Haunted
i could never paint a picture, you told me to try
so i tried to create one with us in it
but all my paint ran dry
because i bled out to much passion
so you said it lacked compassion
whatever that means
you are graceful
and i am faithful
you are laughing in my head
because everything you say about me is true
I know it but I don't care
and you just decided to leave
me to roll over alone and die
but i refused to go anywhere
like the broken clock hand you used to watch
when we were young
you hoped it would move
what did you ever have to prove?
you didn't have a horse and a silver sword
or a crown of thorns to hide
a little of you always died
as we got older
I tried to get in touch with you
even though we both moved on
but some part of you lingered
like the taste of a gum
remember when we sat across from each other
in the front lawn and you wouldn't say a thing
just played with blades of grass and yawn
i bet now you dance on tables
and blow kisses at the men's brains you haunt
