Cigarettes Through Polystyrene

The local kids wont say whispered words tonight,

encoraging and loud they stick together in a fight,

because thats the way it is, like how its always been,

doorstep mecca, dont tell them what theyre missing,

sling around your neck and theres a hangman by your future,

lowering yourself you wipe the floor and then theyve used you,

you'll knock a sip back, end with a sigh, roll one, ember,

cigarettes through polystyrene.

You walked into that room

and it was you and me, a silence,

everyone else glued,

but it seems some split onto my eyelids,

because when i see you a past is forgot,

luke warm water,

ill bathe then rip it all off again.

All in good time, a dreamer forsees you and i,

with crushing waves that drown us,

this time were going to drown in spite.

You talk i just assumed it was the drink i smelt

on your lips,

echoes fall the broom so pass it here ill sweep the

debris.

A look to disguise, enchanted but vacant,

not one alibi, i freeze then melt,

because it seems i made a mistake that i cannot

rectify.

Have your cake then eat it,

none was left so swallow pride,

looking at a headstone from above began to cry,

speak through gritted teeth for such a waste of life.

You held the wool and i sowed my lips up tight,

your like audrey, youre so beautiful tonight.
