my junkie


Writing by lamp light

Highlights my life

Its twilight and

damn boy…I’d cuddle you so hard

 

I keep here for you

My astrological artillery is empty

Sailing ships that seek solace find me.

I’m the outkast on the playground not the bully

 

You know me

my petroglyphs go far back

I can’t believe I found someone who’s skin matched.

I used to hate me. You shoot dope on the daily

Free base that shit numb life it’s scary

 

12 steps later from the 12% beer

Our worlds have changed but we’re still here

I love you

Like caterpillars love cocoons

And planets love their moon

And I hope that I can see you soon.
