I.
I would like to say
one thing I have learned.

II.
Never leave someone else
to water your plants.

III.
They die.
Steven Muir Jul 2014
I.
I miss you
but I'm too afraid to
even make a contact point.

II.
Maybe
next weekend
and then
next weekend passes
and I'm still alone.
However much this sounds like it's about an ex, it's actually just about some friends of mine.

I.
That's what you call him,
my best friend.

II.
Simply because he wants to go into war
defend his own
and you believe that's wrong.

III.
I'm not saying I agree with him,
but I have never met
a more sincere human
in my life.

I.
I would like to say
that I've given those silly things

II.
I should tell you
I no longer wait for the pages of my comic books
to leap to life
to fight

III.
But that would be a lie,
so I'll just say

IV.
If you meet someone who
believes in heroes,
don't make them stop.
We're getting through the ******* day:

V.
So my crutch is something fictional
something I will never be.

VI.
Take it to your ******* grave,
the words you'd say to me.
"Child's stories" and "fake" and "not real"
Do you think I don't know that?

VII.
I do but it's easier
to get though the day
pretending I have
someone to save.

I.
You make blood look delicious.

II.
That's wrong,
and I wish I could say it with conviction.

Sin
I.
And they told me
"All sin is equal in the eyes of god-
and so, you're loving a woman
is just as bad
as if you'd killed one."

II.
I do not
understand god.

I.
Don't listen to sad music
when you already feel like crying.
