Pizza Pocket Shirt.

Heavy glow; round 2 of this game. Shameless filters seep through the frame. Remember the time we lay on your floor? I woke up the next morning so drowsy and sore. Driving home, cramped in a weary state. Gaping holes in my soul, wailing, kept me awake. Hit or miss, it's been 2 months, Here I am again, alone, jumping every hump. Remember welted eyes at 2 am in the car? Remember sitting in the booth of your favorite bar? Remember silence at the park bench? Remember defending him in your defense? Gaps in the conversation and moments too. If only the songs I listened to could scream as loud as I could to you. Bottles were nothing but a conversation piece. And I ache there, stifled between two sheets. Longing to hold all of you, For you were the glue, That kept everything from ripping in two. Blatant mistakes of our past, Keep what's to be had masked. You know its true. Your jaded eyes kept my sky a sharper shade of blue. I remember all the times I thought I was wrong. I remember "Fuck you." after I showed you that song. I remember utter distress. I remember removing shrapnel words from my chest after you left.   I don't know how many times I buried myself in the dirt. Only to be picked up by the girl in the pizza pocket shirt. I can't recall how many times she's heard me drone. Only to be written off with a sigh and a moan.
