Why am I in this month-long
heartbreak?
Why am I starring
down the barrel of a night
the color
of shadows in the sewer?
Because I'm taking shots
at each and every one of them.
But the shadows reach out for my soul,
and their population
grows.
I'm still thinking about her,
for some reason,
realizing how much I cared,
when I used to think
I'd get away from this one
scot-free.
We weren't even together,
but I have these crazy drunk dreams,
and she's walking away
in every one of them.
So I smoke a bowl,
and take sips straight
from the bottle,
and she's still barrelling down on me,
making booms in the night,
making the shadows go boom,
making everything go boom
inside of me.

and she's still barrelling down on me,
making booms in the night,
making the shadows go boom,
making everything go boom
