SevenOhFour Nine Five Seven Oh To Three One

I haven't spoken to you in a decade,
well,
not by mouth,
but
I've written to you most nights for
fourteen
years.

See,
I admired you once
and
its just love ya know,
once when I
was traveling
alone.

I wrote to your mind to
pirate your heart
and...

I'm so eloquent when it doesn't matter
but I'm going deep down here man
and the words they
struggle.

I know nothing about you.
You probably told me once but
I was drunk then,
your knight in
vomiting
armor.

I may not be your favorite.

You may not concern yourself with
me at
all.

I've checked you out since
once or twice a
thousand
times.

Stealing sideways
glances of you:
green eyes
tousled blonde
two children
palms up
heart wide
open.

I don't have any thoughts on any of it,
its all yours and
my place is right here
tap tap tap
tap tap tap
bathed in blue.

But you are not alone.

So what if we as humans have
burned cities to the ground and
stolen food from the mouth
of
babes?

So what that we destroy ourselves
and each other and
everything in
between?

We survive.

We claw toward heaven until
we see them pearlies and
if they don't let us in we
all go down
together.

You are not alone.

I don't know if this helps
or if its just the piss of drunks
judy,
you be the judge on
that.

But you are not alone.

tap tap tap
tap
tap
tap.
