Somehow I got inspired by this one when listening to Cancer by Twenty One Pilots, I think it was the line where he talked about his lips being chapped that got me going.
This poem is mostly to my freind Anna, who lives in Arizona, far away from me, in the same hometown as T.O.P if that gives you a hint.
ONCE AGAIN, THY POEM IS UPON US:
The car's heat beats through my skin
pumping the blood running around my neck
It's me again,
the girl with the chapped lips,
bird nest hair, and nothing to do this summer
but write and scribble against sketchbooks
Too much sun
I scream inside my head
It's a present and a sin that no one hears us in our heads
So becuase of this I switch forward the music
I swear the only reason I listen to Twenty One Pilots
Is that my best freind truly adores them
My feet are burning from not only the heat
But the thought that she is so far away from me.....
Where has my best friend been?
I heard things.
Whispers from the walls and empty halls...
Suspicions and guesses
That she is too angry to speak
Has to punch a wall just so she can feel soft and calm
What has happened
To the girl who used to breathe inside of me
I guess when you love someone who lives what seems to be
on the other side of the world...
In cactus land full of sand
to poke her days away
and bury her alive
Forming sandstorms on the inside
I wish,
I wish I was there, in cactus land
To guard her from the pokey things
and blowing things
and stupid things that make her want to scream
I guess that's what it's like in Arizona
Where people keep sipping green tea
Sweet peace in Arizona
At least that's what I thought it could be
Now I'm laughing again because my dad has come back to start the car with a giant grin.
Does she even have one?
I couldn't imagine the life my
Cactus poking
Sandstorm creating
Scorpion loving
Best freind has to endure
In Arizona.
Well I guess I'd better go and turn off the T.O.P radio
Here we go
I'll meet you some day in Green-tea-ville
Arizona

Love you Anna, I know it's rough for you down there but hang in there.
