Never Staying

the kind that fades

sometimes wither

the type that easily sways

easily shocked by a tremor.

the breed that flows

never staying

hopping from row to row

never staying.

the color that's gray

never black or white

the shade that's pale

never has its own life.

the love that's feeble

around arms that wobble 

the feeling that's not concrete

running the edge and delicate.

the eyes that leak

no more patching the seams

lips can't speak

you're never staying.
