poetry

"intoxicated on the way you sound" the moment i saw you a familiar song filled the air your voice, a warm concave your eyes felt like so much home when you spoke to me, i shook when you laughed my knees felt weak our moment was over you turned left, and i turned right you forgot about me as the day ended but your face never left my mind even after days and nights our familiar song prevailed now i see you again nervous eye contact was made the corners of my mouth give way and you acknowledged with your eyes you're always there i just want you for my own

"ashes to ashes, we’re all knocked up!" hopeless thoughts all around us we're all drowning in doubt in a sea of regret i'm fucking praying for drought in the sky i see lies towards the ground are our dreams as the rain falls fast, hard open wide, see the scene: drunken parties and sex who kissed who? who's the worst? and we all cry far too much your failure isn't a first in a world that's desensitzed we're just ants in a row in our worlds we're the kings and the queens our titles aren't just for show in the sky i see lies towards the ground are our dreams as the rain falls fast, hard open wide, see the scene: those awful liars and fakes! you're one of them, you're the worst! he said, "i drink far too much and you're not quite my first" so in this world of disgrace is there any hope of a life when you don't have to lie when they don't stop to scoff i want your eyes on the prize set yourself straight i want you to set yourself straight try again just for me
