Scrabble

 
Don't look at me with that feeling
close to the noise I feel insecure
aching in the misunderstanding
walking in the shadows of contempt
the lit way too shiny for one like me

Hurt bursts then nothing
metaphoric sayings soothe for a moment
they are mysteries to unfold

Your love is puzzling
and there seems no answer for it
conflicted emotions star gaze at me
threatening to turn into ash

Reading parables out of platitudes
a string of thought to unscramble
raptured notions

Until I am left utterly alone
