so tightens the end of september
like a noose, rained for weeks straight
and i’m doing whatever feels right
you run your fingers thru my hair
and i’m embarrassed, don’t know
how to tell you how i feel
want to run away into the night
with you, want to drink again
and fight the system, its every discoloration
so each day goes
forgetting what brings the glitter
back in my eyes, smiles fading for no reason
