Untitled Poem

We have longed,
For another time,
Again and before,
You shut the door.
Write out the pain,
Scribble up the page,

Where will we go,
When we grow up?

Crying out laughs,
Laughing away,
The deathwishes we had today.
We long for sleep,
It's time to leave,
Drowning our hearts,
With love and thieves.
