Piano Man


I don't know what it is about you.

Don't know why

I ever even tried.

You play Neil Young-

maybe you also played me.

Your arms are warm BUT our bed smells of something rotten.

We hardly ever speak.

 

 

 

What pains are you numbing as I use you to numb mine?

Could you ever grow to care for a woman who cut off all her hair?

 

Goodbye.

I love recycling and making new friends. God willing, I'm going to move to Colorado and study to become an anthropologist. update 12/2017: I moved to Colorado, and I am studying anthropology. I journal about my adventures. Sometimes my ramblings become poems, so I try and post them here.
