PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

we lie in bed with legs twisted

a wreck but we haven't made contact

my toes go numb with whole sheet over you like a body bag



but not as numb as we go everytime one of us has punched out an i love you

and you haven't been on the job in about a month or much longer



i can't hardly remember

and now i can hardly stay home

cause i know its ending

and i can't stand it



upright when its fatally tilting

like the lamppost you crashed into

the night you drunk yourself close to dead before letting me speak



but not as drunk as i get everytime one of your friends slept with you in this bed

and offering me a spot there when you couldn't get them out the window fast



the time you offered your sister

and now i can hardly stay home

cause its gotten insane

and i'm flipping out



your cousin shows me her scar

and now her virginity

cause she knows its ending

and its never ending



damn i loved you

and just maybe

you loved me to

but now all you love is you

and of course,

wreckless behavior

so heres some for you



theres a few lights out on a bridge tonight

and a few cables missing too

when you open the paper next to him or her tomorrow

theres a street car named desire



that didn't feel a thing in the ocean chill



and when your standing next to it and see its all twisted

raise a stone and have it say

just another decision with a ring to it,

so regrettable
