FLY-LIES
Seismic waves of tears flooded my eyes
I slept on a bed of lies
Tremors shake each corner of my bleeding heart
You gave me a heartbreak tart
Blood-screams climbed out of my throat
I was on a twisted-thorn boat
Tsunami waves of pain slashed through my crystal-glass
soul
Holding on to a hope-straw pole
Thoughtless thoughts galloped through my
mashed-potato mind
Our ghost-love sealed in a coffee-grind
Tried to escape the cyclone-forest of questions
Our marriage-sledge got stuck halfway up the
Appalachians
Thorn birds cuddled in our bed
I choked on a black-red fish bread
I want to cut this porcelain heart with a dull dagger
You were a Hyena-bragger
Fly-lies swanked through my meltdown thoughts
You gave me a pathway filled with disappointments
We built our dreams in the Milky Way
The sky turned a dark grey
