After junior high, I met this guy Who only seen stars and dollar signs He kept his clothes clean, his shoes white and everyday invited me to get high Some days I envied his independence Though I came to find he was friendless And his smokey afternoons were spent alone in his room at home exhaled out of windows. Some days he told me things that others would often doubt But when I agreed, he'd shut me out I didn't mind it much. He didn't know how to love. That subject foreign to speak of a silent agreement between us. The dollar signs and stars crowd his heart I don't blame him at all. We are the same with our roaming souls and cloudy brains not from the smoke but from becoming insane. Insane in the most unique way
