brownbirds pinkbirds yellowbirds
laying low on the bench
splashing anger all around
chasing up away over the fence.

the smoker's shapes,
the pretty flat girl,
gypsy-dresses in the sunrise
but you shall never fully unfurl.

fuck you, fuck me.

your mother had some navy-blue
children's leggings from Tesco
I wore them in bed beside you.
a type of comfort I tasted the tip of
sooner or later you toppled me
over and out of sight.

our traditional goodbye, goodnight.
some big big sad sad
eyes hidden in feigning disinterest
never could i ever be
distracted from quite how to
tap torturously into you.

big big sad sad
you are the only one
slender like your fathers son
and parallel.
a petite filipino softbird brownbird
ma's forehead kisses.
discarding your oldgirl songbird
for a gram of coke in the bushes.

"big big sad sad

Thank you so much that means the world to me :]
I very very very very rarely put poetry on deviantart anymore but I do still upload the odd photograph, only to [link] rather than 'breakfast', just incase you were interested,.

Thanks again*

i guess i shouldnt say anything. however.. at least thanks for showing me a part of it.
it seems enough to feel the most important part. but probably it's the most important part missing here.

In fact i can't really read this as poetry because reading poetry in english is not something that i'm used to... so when i read it it's more a collection of facts and thought, but i guess it's really what you feel, and well expressed. The shot is nice too !

if you wouldn't mind....I really really like what I've read...and i can kinda relate...

if u dont want to tho, that's understandable.
