Trouble

Trouble, it knows how to swim
No matter how deep is the water or
How strong is the stream.
Wherever you go it’ll follow,
Up the highest mountains,
over the edge of the cliff.

A rough, purple rope tied into a knot,
Around your neck, pale as the moon
A white, tangled telephone cord.

My grass isn’t green, it’s rather splattered red.
I think I did something wrong,
And now it’s dead.

I can’t be alone.

170 caps.

White, blue and pink
I’m dipping my face deep
Into a water filled sink
Rabbits are jumping around
Give me your paws for luck.

170 caps, trade them for a new heart
Yellow, purple and green
The bruises are covering me
I was waiting for you
But you weren’t waiting for me.

Red long dress
The wind is undressing me
This weight is too heavy to bear

Now,
Give me the key.
