I Was A Runner

Your advances mean a lot, as you scan through these pages of over-thought. Don’t scream. Your body’s alive. Don’t believe all the shit I said and when I said it.
Your father knew your name, and dwelled in it before you came. You’ll gather yourself in shame and make a painful exchange sound the same.
“Don’t let me down again.” She said I said it in my sleep and I meant it. You’ll scream out to comfort your eyes and breath to stay quiet. Don’t let me down again.
The buyer’s made your fame. I was a runner, I held on through falls and change, within Leviticus I’d do the same.
“Don’t let me down again.” She said I said it in my sleep and I meant it. You’ll scream out in shades of grey and let the light guide the way. Don’t let me down again.
I was a runner and I ran through my life. You were the squire that said that it’s alright.

This is life in the halls, watching the rise and the fall.
Your parents could write a hit nursery rhyme. Now the sounds in your chest would be lousy at best, but you’re not going to know. I won’t let you go.
I could not guess, with your mouth in that mask, how you liked that last show. It’s only ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
Before he could speak, he would sleep for a week. He never let his parents know. His love didn’t show.
I like the way you ride away. It isn’t easy keeping company for long.

Do You Believe

Do you believe that Billy lost his dream? In heightened shadows, mud’s in the stream. It gets in his steel toes and his hair. He never noticed the bugs everywhere. They’re skinning him from skin to bone, an epidermis worn from being alone. It’s sinking in and soaking wet. It’s the body of a life I want to forget.
Do you believe that Billy lost his dream? It’s an Abercrombian life at 16. He’s all alone except for the void on the other end of the phone.
Do you believe that Billy lost his dream as the water floats downstream? The water takes his fears that he holds dear.
Do you believe there’s something in between?
