For Adrian [Adult Language]

By Eagle

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Little Adrian grew up when I wasn't watching Now he's wearing black and shouting "Fuck!" Filled with rage and teenage angst And he has yet to run into any good luck When life handed him lemons he had no use for lemonade Looks like you pulled the short straw today, little boy You have to be the one with the slashed up wrists You have to be the one who will never know joy We ask ourselves if we're alone in the end But Adrian's been so alone all along I guess he never even was the happy little boy I thought he was He can end it soon, this doesn't have to go on for long Poor boy breathing his own poisoned air I should have know that Adrian was never a little boy Yeah Adrian was always a grown up man Who hated waking up because it meant he still had to live Written April 14th, 2002 © on Apr 13 2002 05:39 PM PST   10 • 0 • 1
