as I stumbled with my pool cue
while
trying to act diligent with my swagger.
Which
was none.
For, I was dressed dirty
and had to wipe domestic beer
from
my teenage mustache.
I was in quite good form
and lucky for you
at my best
when we met.
You're midwest sway and kindness
captivated me.
four years later..
I lay in bed on the edge of the earth
and I strangle my phone
I strangle my words
trying to talk to you
connect with you..
I ignore my naive side
and only think hopeless.
I go from my heart
not my gut.
As they say...
"Ignorance is bliss".
how bold.
