A Poem For You

Just another voice in a sea of voices

Just another day amongst living corpses

Just another consequence of my choices

actions, obsessions, expecting regressions...

Just another girl.

Here.

Alone in the world

Just another mistake...that I'll make.

In between the breaths I take.

Just another stake through the heart...

and a shot in the dark....

that'll pull me apart.

like a frown....then a sigh.

Always waiting for the time

to say my quick goodbyes

to another you

who was new

to my mind

when together we could hide

deep inside, staying dry

from the rain, and the pain

lost far away, our own space

where the music was so loud

and i found you in the crowd

amongst all the thick thick clouds 

of smoke

and we joked

of how we were so broke

from all the laws we'd revoked

 

I wanted life to be so fast

 and that feelin not to pass

   just make it last.

all the dancing and the laughter

knew I'd never see you after

so we let go and oceans flowed 

we gave up going slow

we were free 

Phish in the sea

just one more love scene

let it be.

just don't forget me
