Warning Signs

By violetfyre

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Another innocent bystander Became a casualty of sunny day frisbee Metal clinked upon metal Warning of a horseshoe game close by. Caffeine spilled into my veins, Filling every pore, Calming me for the first time Since his lips touched mine. Conscience drained away in a flood Of pretentious indie rock. This shirt still smells like yesterday, My eyes still ache from driving and seeing you. I don't want to wash it away. We'll never get it back, never get this back. I built up an immunity To a conscience that was starting to scream While grass was trampled To signal our unofficial start of spring. Daylight's wasting, days are wasting Never think, never think, just do Never think, never think, just do what you want to. And I'll say goodbye And bury my head into a song like peaceful drowning While the flies buzz around me, Signifying our official end of winter. ** Written March 18th, 2002 © on Mar 18 2002 09:02 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
