cigarette butts and bottles, cooling off


photo by Den Trushtin



with Samhain fast approaching

hearts and stars are somersaulting


but they are fading from your eyes

the love and care, you can't deny


tired, sick, tired of my loving

my overthinking

am I overthinking this again

believe me


I'm trying my best


but we're not fooling anyone

these thighs are done with the savage gashing

all night with this fighting, the spite is fighting back

your mind ain't even right anymore


and over and under this vast October night sky

you were feverishly writing your next love song

can't even see me waving that so long


goodbye


my eyes tear up, you're tearing my soul


out of all the ways, 'til Samhain comes,

sickening bottles will be the only ones keeping me alive



cigarette butts and bottles, cooling off
