Domestic Violets

thinly veiled jealousies 

a pretty neck

draped in jade colored bruises 

family heirlooms 

fetal idiosyncrasies of a feeble mind 

down on your luck 

you call it fate

I call it self sabotage 

dreaming of abstract skies 

dreaming of simple times 

you say it’ll be ok

your words are worthless 

but I treasure them like scripture
