Grey Girl
(My Heart Questions)
By Jordi Sharpe
I still cannot explain what it is
that makes me love you. I really can’t.
Maybe it lies in your appearance?
As much as you deny it, you are beautiful;
Is it the hair? I saw it reddish-brown once.
Now it is raven black. It must be a favorite color
or something. it reflects your clothing.
The glasses you don make you even cuter.
But I wish that I could remove them.
Your eyes scream for attention.
Your lips, usually pouted, or holding
a cigarette (you told me you’d quit)
look kissable. Lord know I’ll never see.
Your skin is pale. Not pasty, but a light,
creamy smooth that contrasts your hair.
It’s even lovelier that way.
And your hands, small in mine
(or so I would imagine),
wrists bound in bracelets and
leather strips and chains.
Your fingers, painted, have a cigarette
dangling from between them (quit?).
And then, there is your mind. They way
you think. Not just the darkness, the frightening
and chilling, but the light-hearted,
sometimes big-fished mind-razings.
Like the music (fight power).
It’s your schtik. Depression to
devastation of worldly powers,
you love it all. And then,
your own creative (and volatile)
thoughts a-brewin’.
You let them flow, much the
same as I.
And your ever-quirky persona.
"I’m a loser."
You’re my loser. I wish.
We’re all losers.
Ah – a goddess more likely.
Giggling every once in a while, a
magical and musical and munificent
sound that raised me to
a nirvana (one mention)
plain. And your witty, snide
comments. I too giggle.
When you scorn others,
I tend to agree.
But I am deeply saddened, angel.
And this is the cause for this
depressed and angsty work before you.
You’ve been hurt. Jaded if
you will.
As disgusting crime to be done.
And inside, you’ve killed yourself,
twisted your heart out, beloved.
And I cry silence for you.
It is my mourning for you.
I cannot be there for you.
For you, my jewel, I cannot
show you my love.
And I cannot be raised
to the fullest of my nirvana (two mention)
state. I really can’t.
But I cannot blame you.
I can be upset with your
Judas. Fool who fed you the
crucifixion of emotion. I’ve
cursed
cursed
cursed
many a time.
For nothing,
"It’s me."
But it isn’t.
It’s everything but you.
