The First Night

“THE FIRST NIGHT” solitude, you old *****. you never fail me. you love me like no other. tonight I sit out here and the life inside my broken heart has given up. no need for homicide, why kill what keeps you going? somewhere out there, she lives, forgetting everything I was to her. the moon is out tonight, no, I can’t say it is. that same damn frog from last night, maybe it knows. maybe he’s come to accompany his own heartache with mine. there are no others. here in my white t-shirt, my black shorts. she’s happy without me and all she had to do to get it was turn her back to me. she’s in her city now just like before and here I sit not giving two damns about the new lollipop that’s going to penetrate her. I guess I should thank her. the years she gave me kept me out of life. when she took them away, when she was weak, she gave the reality of life back to me. bruja. I light this cigarette in darkness as I celebrate the hatred I now carry for her. here, have a drag. By: Chicano Eddie 9-27-2016
