Reality Is

Love Stinks

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

there once was a girl who was naïve

It’s incredible what she believed

The sky wasn’t blue

And true love was true

she wears her heart out on her sleeve

    Such a moving, lovely ache in this poem - the juxtaposition of the two middle lines (blue sky, true love) is quite effective.
