background for your blue

insufficient
no significance
a pebble in a shoe

loose threads
tangled webs
nothing old is new

a gamble lost
a heavy cost
extracted, taxes due

like vertigo
falling slow
nothing there to catch you

why try?
so many lies
only weeds that grew

hollowed heart
messy art
the canvas torn in two

lifelines gone
all that’s wrong
settles in the blue
