When I first saw you I thought you would be a stoner. Trapped in a loop controlled by **** Your clothes smelling like burnt leaves and you have ashes under your fingernails. Your shirts are always ripped and tattered your pants baggy, somewhat unwashed. With small tattoos on your thighs. A piercing on your nose. A slit on your eyebrow. A scar on your cheek. Leaving to hide from the world. Acting like you are disengaged from us. Maybe you see what I can’t. It all seems irrelevant though, when you smell good and don’t smoke. You really don’t. You just seem like the type to do so.

Stoner?
When I first saw you I thought you would be a stoner. Trapped in a loop controlled by **** Your clothes smelling like burnt leaves and you have ashes under your fingernails. Your shirts are always ripped and tattered your pants baggy, somewhat unwashed. With small tattoos on your thighs. A piercing on your nose. A slit on your eyebrow. A scar on your cheek. Leaving to hide from the world. Acting like you are disengaged from us. Maybe you see what I can’t. It all seems irrelevant though, when you smell good and don’t smoke. You really don’t.
