And there it goes again.
That ghostly chill within.
That ratchet stench that crawls up your skin.
A crawl that makes you wanna jump out and not jump back in.
Those narrow words to those painted bruises.
But after that sweet smile reels me in.
I'm yet again your fool again.
I forget at times that you're such a withstanding artist.
With such bright colors you used.
Purple blush, red bloom, and a blue foundation.
How the twirl of your brush can make some magic.
Tossing color by color on my naked body.
And there it is again.
Those worried eyes on my limbs.
Foul comments running the streets at night.
Standing tall for the audience in that bright light.
Making me yet again a beautiful display for their eyes tonight.

You...
You became the rain. Your blaze reveal your own pain. After that, you turned into the rainbow that lies. You covered the truth behind those shady eyes. You made me the fool that follows rainbows and dreams of butterflies. With words that kill and a smile that cracks. Did I need to watch out for my own back? You made the world a danger. Past the chaos of nature and this murderous society. It makes me question your power and that power over me. You made me scared of my own shadow. And I'm a ghost. Do ghost have shadows? You made me a memory. You made me count to ten until that one in the barrel snuck me. You made the world forget about me.

Stuck in Place
Amy whistled as she walked through her front yard, looking for any sticks she could pick up and throw into the pile she and her brother were making. They had a big windstorm recently; as such, all the trees in their yard had suffered some damage in some loss of sticks. Or perhaps losing those sticks was a good thing since their trees probably needed to be pruned anyway. Amy wasn't sure.
