naked soul

 
I hate you less in the blue
  of your naked soul

in your quiet haze you shout obscenities
I wander in and out of your smoke
intoxicating my angst until it glow

while emo protagonists of your one-man drama
protest the whole scene
with quips and off-color jokes at your expense

I sigh and moan under my breath
you looked at me curiously
tilt your chair back and laugh

you wouldn't come down off your high
so I climb the thick clouds
   hanging in the air like regret

keep out said the note on the door
your hooded eyes said don't bother me

I hate you less in the blue
   ness of your naked soul--

when you relent
and let me enter your red
    
     we cried...for time

                                   ...lost
