Howl @ the Moon with Friends


Standing with an arrow aimed at my heart

Fell in love with cupid in my dreams

Last night but that doesn’t make sense

Because she was kind of there actually

When I thought about it hard enough

But when I wasn’t looking was when I felt

Her kiss me and I fell forward Into the lake

But I wasn’t drowning

Only knowing

And that was the problem

She told me

Her tears on me

But if I cared in that moment

Then everything else didn’t matter

And I couldn’t see a way out

Of the glass house she built

Around my upside

Around my out

Around the ghost that resides without pay

Stowed away

Lost boys found heroes

With no one to save but themselves

But that was always the war

Or maybe I should treasure the moments

I spent alone eating sushi

And conversing with walls
