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.
