i can see it when you open your mouth and words
BEG TO SPILL FROM YOUR TONGUE.
like beetles.
beetles.
“can we leave here, go somewhere quiet?”
aren’t we all begging to be heard?
i never want to listen.
but really, it’s what you won’t say.
and i’m still waiting.
“i’ll take two, straight up.”
please,
somewhere quiet.

and yet, here we stand.
and as my demons reach the surface
i teach you a little lesson,
in reality.
“take your number and wait.”
here, here’s my number!
when really you were waiting in the wrong line
the entire time.
where do we go from here?
we continue to search for that something.
something that feels good, right.
wait, please just wait.
“fuck waiting. i’ll go grab us a table.”
when all i really want is to just stand right here
and wait for that something that’s just
not you.
:] I haven't written something in so long,
it feels so good to finally write something down.
