Love Poem: Stuck and Out of Stock

Stuck and Out of Stock

my heart was broken in the rain 
while being pulled underwater
by overcast vibrations via
sky blue seduction

i carry a black umbrella
for personal therapy and 
wear a multicolored raincoat
and galoshes in order to 
intentionally fool myself into
believing that i am actually safe

thoughts of her are merciless
avalanches merging with boulders
of commonplace frigidity

i laugh to keep from crying
i cry to keep from dying
i die the avoid the goodbye-ing
as i take my last breath, the alarm goes off and i wake up sighing

....and alas, my blood again flows slowly like a constipated turtle....
