This is not for you.
Thoughts and litter, flying the freeway
Dawn breaking up with Night, trees aglow in light
Fingertips and papercuts, icecreams melted

These are not for you.

The bleeding heart, dark closet days, shame taking the red eye flight
Glitter frosting covered wishes whispered in delight
Clouds bursting shadows, icy white meadows, clear and breathless

These are not for you.

Gray oceans crashing, spraying fury, writhing, twisting
Shadows encircle, preying on fears
Crushed  tightly in a toddler’s grasp

These are not for you.

Empty chairs, welcome stares, words falling a flight of stairs
Ink and paper, splinters, tears
Condensation from the truth, pure and crystal clear

These are not for you.

None of this
Your eyes behold need not exist
quiet splendor sits untouched
waiting not, for no one
no praise or admiration because

This is not for you.

Secrets windy, moody winding
beauty is not yours to keep
Letters numbers hands and feet
Ocean glass and a sky of blues

None of this-

Not for you.
