a ridiculous waste

chase fireflies and drown your tears in an endless trail of smoke

such an easy addiction

accompanying me on hazy nights

it's okay

kill yourself through indifference

i'll still be around when the lights go out

with charred dreams behind my eyes

after all this time

this is what it comes down to

like the stars that seem so close together

really millions of miles apart

i said i never would

but i did

have a good night

WOW. This is an inCREDIBLY good poem. You amaze me. Seriously. The whole "charred dreams" line is my favorite. So great. You are so great. Mm. I need Pepsi.
