I am the lonely boy who loves a lonely girl When I’m blue, she’s the one I run to You’d think we go together like two + two But in fact, we make five and here’s why ————————————————— We’re both equally traumatised With a battlefield going strong in our minds It tires her out all the time Whereas I use drugs as a coping vice We’re both fairly afraid to get close Because past lovers still have a hold Not in the sense we keep a torch lit Just scarred and bruised from the flames within We’re both so anxious about timing She thinks she’s too much, I think I’m not enough ————————————————— These are the cards we’re dealt with But having her by my side is a blessing
Originally this was called “Lonely Girl” part two to my second poem “Lonely Boy” but renamed it after the Jack Nicholson film
