Paradox

Maybe she doesn't take the covers Off her furniture because she Doesn't want it to feel like home Maybe she painted the walls black Because her favourite colour was white Maybe she threw her vinyl records Off the fourteenth floor because She adored them so much Maybe she drank whisky a little Too much because it reminded Her of her father's breath Maybe she broke all the frames On her shelf because they were Her mother's favourites Maybe she liked to stare at flames And ashes because it resembled Her childhood And maybe that's why she returned The flowers he gave her because she Didn't want to ruin him too. 15th of September, Tuesday M.K.

Such a sad somber tone in this one,the contradictions were greatly implemented and the ending was powerful and unpredictable.
