Fear of Drowning

Where do you stand. Now

Alone in the sun

Miserable earbuds

and backwards youme

Forever

this moment in the loneliest place in my life

suburban parking lot, USA

Covering secret hope with blankets of anonymity

 

Money just cools them

Freeze each other LIKEICECRYSTALS

can't even be together

Never. Even when it can't get worse

in the sillyfuck of summertime sticky countertop of hangover

 

Seasons without the hot seatbelt of safety

and the inoutness of us

not careful always

Sick bruised overdue goodbye

life sentence

Stealing it back with the work of no worries

 

Just hoping art still means something

just ******* praying it's not empty

like your neverpromises

and your didntlies

 

Cowering with broken heart fever

Burying strangers shrugs in coffeehouse choketears

Who-gives-a-fuck cliche misery

 

I hope your own shadow haunts your periphery

Like narcissus' fear of drowning

 

Sometimes the goodbyes are should have

A whole year of goodbyes

All I wish for is the end
