Untitled

Toss me to the winds of uncertainty
On a paper airplane made from your unfinished song lyrics
Leave me spinning like a record you're to lazy to turn off
Put me stiffly in place like the bookmark of the novel you never read
Keep me wrapped up like yesterday's leftovers
Leave me burning like a cigarette you have no energy to stamp out
Break me in and wear me out like the football jersey you wore in the one and
only game you played in
Give me no notice like the last five jobs you quit
Change your sheets
Change you mind
Leave me hanging from a vine
Tied with the belt that you never finshed in summer camp
You un complete me

Ashley Taylor Clayton
