Dark Tears

Do you honestly think that I feel pity for you?
Hah.
Cry me a river?
It would be blacker than your lies.
Your tears are thick like the sewage you are spewing
Your sobs are faker than your stories
Your excuses are flimsier than my patience for you
And I am sorry to say that I have no pity for you.
So silence your words
And then
Possibly
Maybe
If I feel like it
I just might listen to you
And feel a bit of pity.
Actually, no.
I won't give you my pity.

    Succulent

    There is a small plant that sits on the corner of my life.

    It is a tough little plant;
    I have not watered it.
    I do not give it soil, but I do take it, and throw it to the wind.

    List

    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded
    You succeeded but you failed

    You are above their bar and below yours
    You survived but you do not celebrate

    They say you reached for the stars.

    Dying songbird

    Please don't leave me, you dying songbird.

    Your song is still beautiful, no matter the notes, no matter the order
    Please don't leave your rusting cage via shoebox, friend.
