Blue 5
February 26, 2010
Colored my fingers blue
to-day;
dad laughed and said
I looked dead.
But mom sat me down
(all quiet,)
like a child----
and sadly shook her head.
I reminded her eyes
of a long time ago,
"when a man hung himself,"
she said.
And now all I can think of
(when I see my blue fingers,)
is that
dead man's
empty
bed.

Hrm... I'm not sure if I ever actually posted them all in succession or in the full collection. At least not online. I can let you borrow my old journals, if you like? You'll find them there. =) You could also check my DeviantArt.
