words by dominic riccitello

you’re crazy
he said
with an eye twitched
hands spread
 
i never knew
his mean
his way
why he spoke with such disdain
 
i tipped my glass
to a sucker lover
a romance killer
and a homicidal heartache 
 
i never understood
you’re crazy
yet i knew
his baby
 
we worked in wise
or so i thought
but it was his eyes
through his life
 
we were his arrogance
his lovely
his yesteryear of who i thought
he was
but who he truly is
