Forlorn

 

Bring me someone new fast

 

No wait,

Bring me someone who is fast

and maybe together we can fall 

through these sleepless nights

like stars that burn out,

we will slip awkward, as we dip

fluttering like ash

we will darken the summer sky

filling it with heavy grays and whites

 

 We will become a flash of tumbling embers,

just built to spill 

Ready to turn the desert to glass

Only to shatter it as we hit

 

I swear, we could,

if you’d just take the chance

and bring me someone new

 

 Fast

 

I am on free fall

I’m broken winged and burning out

 

Couldn’t you just bring me some one quick?

 

So I can be someone else for a while

 

If only for a bit

 

So I can examine there lips

closely with mine

make sure that they are the perfect fit

 

Together we will stop time

and smash this paper weight world

with our laughter and forever 21 kisses

 

It will take the cake

Be the bees knees

and I will fall asleep

floating in the softness

of nocturnal spontaneity
