A Poem

“Cause every time we touch

I feel this static”

Okay, that’s enough Cascada

Maybe I should switch it to Mas que Nada

No, not the Mendes version

The original by Jorge Ben

It’s been so hard lately when you’re near me

I can’t help but write

Even when I should do anything else

Sometimes I feel like you’re the only one that hears me

Shouting into the void

To avoid the reality of where I am

Listlessly wandering this place

Seeing the commonly unknown faces

Every week we lose and gain a few

When will I join them

I have no idea

They say enjoy it

But how can I?

When she’s exhausted

And I’m haunted by where I could’ve been

Anywhere but here
