they all play in my head
pieces of me
that reflect in the rain watered puddles
forming at my feet
water colored dreams
that never happened
with the livid colors dripping
into one another…
the words were like…


me,
i’m apart of your circle of friends,
and we,
notice you don’t come around,
and me,
i think it all depends,
on you,
touching ground with us but,
i quit,
i give up,
nothing’s good enough for anybody else,
it seems,
and,
i quit,
i give up,
nothing’s good enough for anybody else,
it seems and,
and being alone is,
is the best way to be,
when i’m by myself it’s the,
best way to be,
when i’m all alone,
it’s the,
best way to be,
when i’m by myself,
nobody else can say, goodbye…
everything is temporary anyway,
when the streets are wet,
the colors slip into the sky,
but i don’t know why,
that means you and i are,
that means you and i,
i quit,
i give up,
nothing’s good enough for anybody else,
it seems,
and,
i quit,
i give up,
nothing’s good enough for anybody else,
it seems and,
and being alone is the,
is the best way to be,
when i’m by myself,
it’s the,
best way to be,
when i’m all alone,
it’s the best way to be,
when i’m by myself,
nobody else can say,
me,
i’m apart of your circle of friends,
and we,
notice you don’t come around. (circle by edie brickell and new bohemians on shooting rubberbands at the stars)



and i fall into cigarette smoke, hands dirty, hands frail, my thighs tremble from what is resting between them, deeper, inside, where life begins, falling in tiny droplets, prisms makers, that shatter my voice into different shades, different hues, my limbs moving without me, closing in on the daytime, when i could careless for trivial encounters, men with intentions, that make me feel more…alone, and i let the circles spin round and round, making me dizzy, my head resting on a pillow, my breath exhaling my life, waiting, for what? i don’t even know…maybe…me…
