alls ashatter

blue cats and mourning doves
hopeless nights and errant loves
everything is tasteless now
need to leave but don't know how

cold blue dogs and rainy nights
stay inside and dim the lights
life and love is just a game
her rules and mine are not the same

blue-on-blue the canvas cries
she only looks she never buys
troubles never got a damn bit clearer
life and loves' a shattered mirror
