Love Poem: Silly Girl

Silly Girl

don't think i ever noticed
how small this room is
how cold
how lost
how forgotten.

and in these hollow times
when the air is frigid and dry
i laugh.

'silly girl'
you chastise
as the smirk
stains my lips



don't think i ever noticed
the fan never stops spinning
never dies
never stumbles
never falters.

and in these hollow times
when the air is frigid and cold
i shiver.

'silly girl'
you chastise
tossing the blanket
across the room

you always liked
my lips to be stained
with blue instead.
