Brighter lights cast darker holes in my soul
Would you know if I told you to?
Lift me up past the rocks and the dirt and the drugs that I took.
It was enough.
I mistook you for angels in paramedic suits,
flashing reds and blues.
If I could I would choose you.
Bite my lip so I won't talk,
but we're just kids with sidewalk chalk.
Run back to class for show and tell.
I'll wait my turn but there's the bell
for the announcer to say:
"Flight 32. Now take her away,"
from you for good.
There's no use arguing my case
if I'm found guilty in every state of mind you try,
so goodbye.
Farewell blue eyes.
I tried.
I will love you until I die
or at least until the next pretty girl sits by my side.
My new favorite waste of time.
So goodbye.
