The days when

You would talk

To me

Long crazy

Counterproductive 

Conversations

During my 

Sad days you

Lifted my head

And said

Be peachy

That smile 

Lit like a million stars

Be peachy you said

 

I asked

What is peachy

He said it was a

Form of happiness

Smiled

A million stars

Smiled while

He told me that

Peachy was an

Expression

Because it outlined

The color and

The feeling 

The connotation

Of life

And good

And happy

 

How it 

Had an idea of 

Happiness

And yet

If you break it 

Down

People are really

Saying be

A fruit

The fuzzy 

Peachy skin

The rich

Golden flesh

The fuchsia 

Inner core

And being

Peachy never

Actually worked

Never improved 

The sadness inside

 

I laughed then

A million stars twinkling

As we laughed

Saying

Be peachy

Through breaths

But I know now

That the

Expression

Of being peachy

Doesn't change

Anything or everything

It's not like

He said

 

So I'm not peachy

No fuzzy

Peachy skin

No rich

Golden flesh

No fushcia

Inner core

I'm not peachy

And that's the

Way it is
