tendrils from my brain
sick and twisted
sinister things that grip
and bring pain
disassociate, i feel a sweet wave
of relief, relax and this pain
starts to recede
i’m vacant
whatever misshapen
false sense of relief
decides to retrieve
the fragments of my grief
it’s his to keep.
finders keepers

you sit under the sun
and the golden shine is one
with the beauty of your skin
and you don’t believe
how beautiful you are

all the flames and all the fun
you can’t deny the nights we’ve won
i wish to live forever here with you

you make me feel new
truth is, we stole the moon
when we kissed, it’s true
your skin so smooth
and my words like rusted roots
i wish i could spoke
i wish i speaked
i wish i told it
i wish i spoked
i’m broken and weak
and can only speak
of my love for you
in this drunken speech

his name was something
i can’t recall
but we spent a whole night
playing pool, 9 ball

overhead lights hazed blue
chalk on my cue
made a shot or two
watch his turn from a stool

next game, someone called
maybe we'll play a split
it doesn’t matter who won
we were infinite

city skyline bright
your eyes lock in on my eyes
we felt every pulse
is this a haiku? idk

i’ll probably stumble to the driveway
before the stars are all done shining
find a place still open
where the locals are unwinding

i got a fresh pack and a pocket of cash
ready to spend my last check
on the first girl that looks my way
forgetting all the word she’ll say
doesn’t matter, we’ll be gone by day

i know a lot of people
upset with the way i’m living
but i’ve never been known
for making good decisions

cheap vices with expensive taste
an idle mind is such an awful waste
leave me to the bottle and a dim lit place
with a pool table and the girls who play
the monster can’t hide his hungry eyes
good morning, class. turn to chapter five
the monster can’t stay one size
when it stops growing, it dies
