our little forever

something is deeply wrong with us

we die slowly

inside our rooms

brains overheating

from impending doom

bodies on low power mode

too scared to go out the door

body slams

to the floor

you’re too tired

but I care

i care about the dead skin

forming on your face

and the lack

of hydration

who could've imagine depression

becoming the face

of a nation

your father lays on the couch

flipping through channels

bored at his core

and this summer heat

sinks deep

into your pores

your blood could bubble

tell me how you feel

forgetting to eat your next meal

and I’ll wrap my arms around you

and let you know that I feel it too

you eat too much

you don’t eat at all

you sleep too little

a little too long

this isolation

is everything

wrong

living life

is a dream

far too gone

you’re waiting

far too long

and I know that

this feels like

it’s a little too much

of forever

so for all of your greatest endeavors

i’m sending you this letter

to keep you together

to make you feel better

about our little

forever
