I wish we could go back to what we used to be
All those late nights not needing anything.
Back when I could write empty platitudes and it made sense.
Back when the pain was directed and easy to understand.
And hidden.

I wish we could go back to when the roughest thing we did
to our body was ask for a large at McDonald's.
Back when I smelled beer on someone and thought,
"I'll never do that". And when I saw their eyes...
Oh those eyes.
I would say, "they just need to ovecome."

Oh to be half human again.
So arrogant.
So certain.
I wish I could go back and never realize what I wrote tonight.
