where the wild flowers grow

You're so
gloom and doom,
little storm cloud
hovering above your head..
"Oh, woe.. Woe is me".
Please!
Smile, darling,
I hate it when you're not happy.

I'm hiding deep inside
the effect of it all.


Tonight,
I'll beg myself to keep inside
that room -
The spare bedroom where
we kept all the worthless junk.
A mighty heap we'd collected.
Stare at the stars through
a dusty window,
where I spilled red paint..
I run my fingers over the
drops that had dried their mark upon
the sill..

And still, I hadn't cried,
bottled up..explosive love..


Dare I ask,
but do your arms miss me?
Sealed up this, like
a kiss on lips that vanish..
As I say,
Breaking up is hard to do,
I'm happy that I
did it with you.
My favorite mistake, you know
I still
linger upon that window sill..
