stuck

You hurt because you lie,
Eat crow!
And I’ll eat Elmer’s, six years old-like
Holed up in this house alone
Faced disgrace and a heart full of stone
Tryna grow up something fierce
Bold though skewed whole worldview pierced
With a hole right through
Jet-heart washed in the light of the moon
And there you stand, a child too
Covered in bruises, mouth full of glue
Just kidding
We’re too bright to have tried that
Except what I wouldn’t do to hear your laugh
Egos sky high and hell deep
Convinced we were both too smart to speak
Did you think I could breathe in and
know what you needed?
I’d give my right arm to have a repeat but
You’re gone now and all that’s left that’s true
Is that we both eat crow
Instead of glue
