Leave the money on the counter.
I'll get it later.
Can't deal right now.
Can't breathe right now.
Slip my coins into the payphone.
I plead to see you again, but you hang up.
Tears fall like a wonderfall, my bones feel so old, I'm so cold.
Why do I have such a hollow head?
Can't lay myself down to bed.
All these monsters running around, they want my skin.
Sallow me like a pill, spit me out when night turns to gold.
I just don't want to be alone, is the story he told.
He's not a knight or a king, sitting upon a throne.
A lost boy, searching in the dark.
But I'll find him, and call him my own.
Our brains are empty, bile covering the tiled floors.
We met at a party, avoiding contact with everyone else.
But when I saw your eyes, I knew you were going to be mine.
He's my drug and I'm his anecdote.
We're helpless animals, shouting in the dead of night.
Like little kids, we chase each other to the river.
The moon shinning bright, lovers whisper meaningful words.
But we'll travel downtown, your hollow head on my shoulder.
This poem is based off a little short story I'm writing <3
