"In the Morning" ~

Folder: 
Angry

Boys crying heart-shaped tears for you.

Men bottom-up their beers for you,

Through drunken stupors, cheer for you.

Oddly all for you.

Hold your hand, my face is glowing.

Cuts you give me, blood still flowing,

Killing me without my knowing.

Give my all for you.

Hate the way my stomache's churning,

Hate the way this road keeps turning,

Dear Lord, I can't take that burning.

Waste it all for you.

Been wasting all my tears for you.

Drank ten too many beers for you,

Tried too hard to be near to you.

Two fingers up for you.

I find this poem really kind of sad. It's amazing what we don't see just because we choose not to.
