scratches down the length of his back

filling yourself with the confidence you lack

tugging away at his strands of hair

struggling inside beyond repair

he seems to help but you aren't sure

broken innocence no longer pure

decrepit memories crumble in your mind

physically and mentally falling behind

clothes are strewn across the floor

snuck out again through the back door

caught by signs and flashing lights

that reek of city and thoughtless nights

motion pictures flood your brain

nothing to lose, nothing to gain.

your mind's a riddle that you can't crack

so you return yet again

to leave scratches on his back
