when we met
you compared me to the mineral
i,
like cole
have burned out
i am a pile of ashes
unhealthy to breathe in
around you
my smiles were
happy
not sad like my heart
around you
my eyes were blue
not grey like the world around me
you gave me happiness
but i
i,
like my name
toxic
you,
like your name
beautiful
deserve sun
i'm nothing but
a cloud of
toxic waste
c.d.
