green and blue
what do you get when you mix them
ruined paint, I think
but that is not the answer I’m looking for
sky and water crash and blur
my eyes sting
and I’ll use the excuse that it’s my allergies
I will walk to another place
You, will you drift to another time
as I blink away your hands
as you put your heart in mine
revenge is drowning out the sound
of two heartbeats that search
for each other
me and you
what do you get when you mix them
ruined life, I think
but that is not the answer I’m looking for
