"the longer that I'm out here, the better you sound." / I’m playing back your laugh just to keep myself / above ground

I lived and felt a million souls / within the time it took / for you to walk through the door

I Had a Better Title For This, But I Thought of it As I Was Falling Asleep
With the wink of an eye and a flick of your flame, another Marlboro finds its way from your pocket to my lips. Breathing and burning, smokesighs of relief-- / I am too far gone to remember your name. / But the warmth fills and soothes with every intake of breath. Have another shot--or two...from who? Well now I am ready to take a shot at you, Cute Boy--also known as Law Student From Argentina--and although a small something-someone begins to question me, voices just drown in the buzz towards the back of my mind...where everything sinks. sinks. is siiinnnnking.

I saw you through the window wearing my shoes. Face looking cynical and wanting to scream, keeping closed. You let nothing out but sorry smoke, how do you expect to be heard? You sit atop your box forever on guard, never leaving what holds which you think does not exist. So go, take your time. I will be watching behind the glass. Wrestle yourself and everyone you know while you pretend you cannot hear the sound.

Yeah, you--
Man that makes me sigh, / the man / a-dult? young adult
