nostalgia 2.

i got a job

 

i have no car

 

i’ve got chaos

 

and on the verge

 

of being an alcoholic

 

here i am

 

nostalgic.

 

half alive

 

never asleep,

 

you either.

 

on the bathroom counter

 

on the floor

 

with words crashing to the ground

 

the nostalgia.

 

no more birds in the morning

 

no more rain

 

and the chaos

 

it’s so beautiful

 

like the most traumatic sunset

 

where the sun sinks low

 

over the water

 

and you’re free

 

the song on repeat

 

i wonder how i’m

 

even alive.

 

why

 

i still choose to

 

wake up by your side.

 

like an undercover darkness

 

raging against the mass

 

of reality

 

bringing me to a medium.

 

everyone knows

 

everything goes.

 

so infinite

 

in the haze of

 

the sun

 

like children

 

with guns.

 

at any minute

 

left to bleed out

 

for the next flesh

 

to cleanse.

 

no more waves to

 

wash

 

away the insanity.

 

when you’re gone

 

i-

 

when are you leaving

 

my god

 

go before the snow.

 

the foliage

 

is like an open wound

 

ripping wire

 

through my throat

 

i need to go.
