Chpater 5: The Champagne Problems

my dearest ezekiel,

hundred bills, torn pages
ruining couple of stages

standing on burnt bridges
we were kept in gold cages

spinning in my pink dresses
oh, we were a mess

my paragraphs were castles
and its pillars were weak sentences

you promised you'd stay till my last breath
dancing till we can't breathe
i've known you from my deepest burden
and we played in the garden
and whenever i felt like leaves hanging from maple trees
falling on the ground
i knew you'd wait there to catch me

demolished palaces
my taken messages

you stood with repentance
and disappeared like my attendance

i burned myself to ashes
left your records with scratches

now, listen to me reinvent my tears
though i know you'd prefer my halcyon years

you were there, dancing in my daydreams
hiding in my nightmares
i was yours and you were mine
baby, you were like wine
and whenever i felt like leaves hanging from maple trees
falling on the ground
i knew you'd wait there to catch me

to meet at dusk, under stars
chasing cars and downtown bars
we danced in an empty room
and under the full moon

you promised, you’d stay till the sun sets
till my very last breath

we drove in my fucking maserati
killed the ghost of cincinnati

you knew i'd kill for reinvention
you stared and joined in my delusion

and when i assumed you disappeared, you stood by my side

you lingered like feelings
and you haunted my stealings

the cigarette smoke felt alarming
but i know you knew everything
and i know you'd hate my scribbling and my cursing

and i know i shouldn't love you, but i do

our golden days were poison
and we drank it all alone
we threw our phone
stood on the first stone
without any connection
it's just like my imagination
i was eating lots of cinnamon

and you were there, my bartender

and whenever i felt like leaves hanging from maple trees
falling on the ground
i knew you'd wait there to catch me

yours truly,
fitzgerald atwood montgomery
