forget the sunsets
and the sunrises
life ain’t never
been that way
not here not ever
not when we were
all together
not when we fell
apart going our
seperate ways
i remember summers
in the fields
far away from lights
and cars just all of
us watching movies
on a vcr and eating
pizza on fridays
while chugging down
some flavored water
and thinking this
would be forever
and it wasn’t
not even close
we seen the previews
to what life would be
when he’d squeel away
and you’d slam the door
music would blare from
the record player
singing songs of lost
desire or vanity and
or goodbyes
how i hated that fucking
record player as it blared
the words that shaped my
mind on what love is and
isn’t and why i’d never
trust again
but then he’d come back
and you’d turn off the radio
and there would be silence
and more …
days would literally turn
to a week before anyone said
anything – or even breathed
then we’d here laughing from the
room and knew it was ok to
come out of our rooms.
i’d catch up on scooby do
and nestle quick
it was the summer i realized
that love is bullshit
and everyone is fake.
