Hey Tonight

By violetfyre

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Tonight I can't think straight. I want to run through the woods By the paper mill and laugh whispers to you. I want to walk barefoot in the mud By the creek and under the bridge And watch the ripples break the moonlight. Tonight I can't smile at all. I want to break bottles And smash windows and drink J.D. I want to set fire to the world And stare intently at the flames And not feel pain, or one hint of guilt. Tonight I can't sleep well. I want to tell stories About hell and heaven and death. I want to die and surpass sleep Because dreaming isn't fun anymore And life is just a boring routine. ** Written September 30th, 2001 © on Oct 02 2001 11:30 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
