Blue Jeaned Hurricane

I'm sipping moonshine with the words you left me.

Trying to understand why the stars look like hazel eyed explosions; why your fingers left stains of irony around my throat.

I guess I couldn't love you, the way you love a tragic ending.

I could never dream, the way you run.

I'll never be more

..than your blue-jeaned hurricane-

Coming undone.
