In a moment of pique, I near spoke too much,Then silence took over—I erased it as such.Polite words rewrote what was almost said.Who was I to speak of the dead?A wife recoiled from truths I gave.Do you wish to hearWhat vows of marriageWere too wea
Hello Old Friend,
I just wanted you to hear me.
I think you heard every word, but I see you now fear me.
I used to get nostalgic remembering our talks under starlight
dressed in blue
I feel golden
dancing with you
my heart holden
high heeled shoes
I feel beautiful
dancing with you
moments so meaningful
posed together
Oh no.
That time of year.
The dresses,
and hot messes,
its space-themed
this year.
The team will lose,
they always do.
The DJ might be
82.
Why do I go?
It's a great night for homecoming
The weather's just right for pretty dresses
A crescent moon hangs in the scene
And some stars twinkle in the heavens
tears,
i'll not fucking shed a one,
lock them away,
pretend it's all good,
pretend i'm not leaving a new home to return to the old.
i can't wait to see my family,
sleep in my own bed,
crowd cheering
band playing
football team tired
I am waving my pom pom
this is my school homecoming
bleachers filled
fans screaming
cheerleaders cheering
It is an endless sea of dry, desolate desert
Unimaginably hot, a blanket of sweat always present
There are constant explosions, pops of sniper guns
He's been in the middle of this hell for a year
