i never knew what speed to go
the running tide
the eb and flow
the grab my hand
and do - si - do
the duck duck goose
and let me go
but summer felt
forever fun
but never seemed
to overcome
the expectations
that become
a man chasing
what he was
knowing that it
never be again
a beat
heart
racing my
eyes
chasing
after
crimson
blurred
i lost her
so it cost me
months
of
mis
er
y.

is this pretentious?

is this my mind?

is this a memory?
but.
some kind of sign?
but.
give a fuck what your friends think.
but.
give a fuck bout their line.
but.
their tangled in effigies.
but.
cigarettes through the night.
but.
your beautiful always
but.
it hurts to let you go
but
you deserve better
yes
you do
