i wrote a poem last night
while laying in bed
once again tonight,
not sleeping but thinking
of you. and of the past.
(it's 12am, and where are you?)
and yesterday i sat in guitar class
hugging the guitar and
playing you had time
trying not to let the tears come.
and nobody suspects when i'm going to break
only i can know that for sure,
for sure.
and she's so beautiful, why would
she still want me?
i'm not perfect and i don't
wish to be,
perfection is a flaw in itself
i am this, dark sharp knife
digging into somebody's skin.
i want that skin to be mine.
but, no, i had to promise.
and please know that,
i don't break promise's, so maybe
i'll drink my way out of today
swallow tylenol to make it out of today,
just enough. so i can't
feel a thing.
just enough, to make me enough?
and it's too early. i should just sleep.
but i'll think of your soft lips instead.
