Jul 2016
A swift smooth car awaited me outside
At exactly 9pm
It would have taken me 50 minutes to get to you by train
If you had not sang my name
But I don't know what your
Vocals sound like just yet.

It's so new
It's different
We wanna hymn
I'll apologize for my expensive
Reckless wit
My best friend can't wait to swim
In my pool with me
And I lean in hard and strong
Let's keep the jumping
Swift, kick
The world needs it
I'm good at hanging with all the boys.

I've got dinner for us and two bottles of red
A pang hit me like sweet tomorrow
It's in my most ****** moments
I still recover
From how I revealed my darkness
To you and you ate it like
Eggs on toast
Or soggy pasta
And I hated staying in your bed.

Mama gotta wake me up
With who she thinks I should be
But can't you see mama
I've got so much courageous venom
I reach not with not knowing who it is
I am
But with the need to hand my heart away.

Everyone at works thinks I look so young
But I've seen a lot
You drove me around on the grocery store cart
Made of saliva and clay
You say you wanna bring me everywhere
And I believe you.

I remember forest eyes
And how I too, worry no one good enough
I pass by my old work place
And remember how you tried
But cannot lock eyes with your demons

"I'm just so happy you exist"
I'm so little and small
In your arms
Not because you want to control my limbs
Or hang me on your shelf
I've been there and seen it all
But we bounce the ball back
And sometimes I want to wail with all the things I feel at once
Like fire drowning in quiet confetti
You tasted just like sultry lobster
And the next chapter.

Let's just eat pasta
Have some red wine
And love the present.
