Somber

”Are you sad?” she asks. ”Because I am somber.”

Then she lives life to the fullest like she’s stronger.

I just smile without a care, I don’t want to deny

She asks no more, she knows those eyes. 

In the old car we roll towards town on a flat road. 

We get off and decide to run all the way back home.

It’s a skillful lie to live in the past as youngsters in the wind.

We hide in the grass, laugh in the frightening dim. 

The way we say each others name is fluent language

The way we dance in circles removes all anguish.

It keeps me away from the deserted 

It fills my lungs, throws me into the perverted

I’m somber but she helps me breathe

I’m In some twisted way, caught, but freed.
