A letter to Dorothy

Dear dorothy, 
aka Clementine, 
aka the doe-eyed girl who'd 
pull out her left out hair strands, 
I see you as a sundew guilt hushed 
by her neighboring wars as 
her cathartic poison which she calls 
tears is present in each second.
You sold the bathroom cracks 
wispy hair, mental breakdowns and shedded 
membrane of your warped figures and 
crooked silhouettes.
I call you 'Venus flytrap' 
from the next-door, hand-made,
baked galaxy.
You call food 'comfort' ,
you call friends 'theraphy' , 
but you'd rather resort to isolation, 
they think your solitude as a perception 
of your lingering insomnia, one thought 
awake while the other one dreams of melancholy.
Just one 'Hi' and that will end to a single 
'goodbye'. 
After that 1-minute postponed 
continuation of love felt like a
century of an era of boys 
thinking you are the ranch to 
their dressings, you'd then say 
'I don't love you anymore'
to the longing boy who's waiting 
for that reply, but i guess by that 
you're just lying that you don't miss 
his autumn scented disposition 
you once called 'A god'
Perhaps love is always the song 
i would get lost in.
Oh, dear dorothy, if i could tell one
more thing about you it would be 
how identical eyes collapsed in another world 
of  Unrequited Love's 100th 
commandment: 'Never Trust 
Someone' paper shredded thru your teeth 
like a wolf being afraid he's 
gonna be eaten by a singular sheep.
Dorothy, dorothy, that one 
girl who never got the time to wear her 
contact lenses of naiveness.
-Sarah
