In your pink room you stare at the light that once gave insight to your organized mess.

But now the bulb has slowly gone out and there isn't enough light coming from the window next to your bed.

So like every girl with a pink room, you begin to cry dry tears and wipe them away with your satin gloves that once fit your delicate hands.

And your back-up relief is torn and weathered and too much of a damn mess.

Such desperate things give such desperate answers is all you can think to say.

But coming from you it is so unwelcomed because no one wants such dark room words, where there aren't any bulbs, coming from a girl with pretty pink walls.

And they begin to wonder how you managed to strangle up that much insanity from your mind because it never even had the right to give itself its own vocabulary.

And you don't bother to scream out all your new found frustration because such things will be heard from the room where they sit and talk about your world through gritted teeth and exasperation.

And you don't want to block out the whispers that you hear of a poor little girl who wants to paint her room black and take out all the lights.  


Love is when you do things you swore you'd never do

This is really different and I enjoyed it thoroughly...the entire mess and all.  I am constantly trying to keep my house picked up, but they say, a clean home is a sign of a boring woman!  

I look forward to reading more of your work.
