God's Favorite Sketches

God’s Favorite Sketches
hair is scribbled on the pillows where i’m watching her sleep
as i ponder if i’m on the wrong side of a dream
illustrated from a page of god’s favorite sketches
but i guess that he suggested she edit me from the scene
she’s been depicted in complimentary colors designed to distract the viewer
from her black and white demeanor
complete with a dash of burgundy to symbolize heart,
which i’m starting to notice ain’t exactly her brightest feature
i feel connected with the negative space
that’s been respectfully shaded to signify a human life
i called it love and she called it suicide
cause if we’re gonna do it
then we better do it right
i’ve never met him, but i question his selection of position
as the missing jigsaw that doesn’t fit
this picture needs a frame
and i needs a pane of glass
that can separate the subject
from the days that they missed
our little microcosm might have blossomed into something better
but i doubt we’ll ever know, no, we’ll never know
