Hold on a moment
Could you and I
Just walk outside?
Into the street where we are being watched THIS VERY MINUTE by deceitful clouds
And let the water wash away the stench of cliché stagnant heartbeats
Do you remember green?
I’m sure I have had these thoughts before
A single chunk of hot bread would be so good right now
Sure
That banging my head on a wall will pay off eventually
Sure
That the French didn’t INVENT déjà vu
Sure
As I walk without you by my side
I wanted to be your guide but not your lantern
But you were never there in the first place
I’m sure I only know a fraction of what I should
As sure as the skyscrapers are tall and certainly NOT societal tombstones
As sure as within those skyscrapers men in ties scrabble to find just an inch more rope
Just an inch
All I ever wanted was an inch of rope with which to hang my unformed thoughts as I came in the front door
It was around his neck the whole time but it wasn’t even what choked him
Water can wait
Bread can wait
Green can wait
Blood can wait
Beauty is just a state of mind
And the moment I turned around I was ugly once and for all

In my naïve fury I want fire

oh good positive (I think?) responses I just wrote that and wasnt quite sure what to make of it

wasn't quite sure?

yeah i wrote it and thought to myself "I cant tell if thats any good, it doesnt seem BAD but I cant tell if i should rewrite it"

It's good we all have our style of writing
