"Standards" -Joshler

•Thirteen•

It was Saturday and we where in the line for Taco Bell. We where joking around as best friends would do, Tyler's phone constantly buzzed. It annoyed me and reminded me that he was in fact popular and this could never get out. We where trapped in a tight room, or closet.

"I was thinking of dieing my hair blue yanno" I let a smile curl my lips as I gazed up, and estatic look on Tyler's face

"I have to help you do it! Oh my god you'll look sick!"

We finally ordered and sat down, we entangled our legs under the table. He was so sweet away from school, damn I loved this guy

"I have a party in three weeks but I wanna show you something the night before" Tyler beamed before taking a huge bite out of his taco. We'd gotten chalupas too, both of us skipped breakfast so we could eat shit tonnes.

I gulped down the BBQ pulled pork, it was a tangy sweet taste that never got old

"Oh yeah, what's that?"

"It's a suprise" he mumbled as his cute lips continued to indulge the food.

"Are you planning to murder me?" We both laughed

"I'm the sweetest way possible Joshwa"

"It's pronounced, Joshuawa"

Laughing again, Tyler nodded

"My gayness tends to reveal when I'm drunk"

After we ate, Tyler turned off his phone and we where at the park, my idea, cliche I know

"How long your parents away for?" I smiled again, trying to look cute.

"They come back next week and then fuck off to America for three weeks again"

We swung on the swings, not too high. It was so peaceful. I grabbed my phone and took a few photos of the scenery

"Nice tumblr by the way"

I gulped slightly

"Thanks, I've been running it for a while" I smiled the best I could. I had some questionable pictures on there

Tyler then lunged forward and got my phone and took a neat selfie. Damn he was fine

"You look perfect" he pressed a kiss into my cheek again, clumsily taking another photo

I giggled, cheeks turning red and twisted to connect out lips. Mine where all chewed up whereas his where soft and perfect

We are the tulips
Red eyes and chewed lips

----

I sat on my bed, pen in hand, scribbling down the words

We are the tulips
Red eyes and chewed lips
Don't mind us while we sway
Sway to these chords
Which distorts the discord we call this world
Our voices are not heard
But we'll song it in our herds
Herds? Herds of broken people
Who are down, been around
And our stuck in this sound
I won't heal
I won't kneel
Because I don't believe
And you'll have to retrieve my humanity
Because I don't have it anymore
Happiness out of the door
My hands will raise to the sun
And hope that my pain is done

I'm sorry for the late update
