let's walk on the beach barefoot and watch the sand fill the cracks of our toes.
let's let the sun kiss our noses
let's get addicted to the sunlight.
let's drink caffeine because that's the only thing we can drink.
let's get addicted to it.
let's sneak out at midnight and gaze at the specks of silver in the sky.
let's fall in love.
sneak out at midnight and let him wrap his arms around you.
let him hold your cheeks and let yourself close your eyes as he kisses your lips that taste like cherry chap stick.
let's get addicted to love.
we take adderall cause we can't focus
we take accutane cause of the zits on our young faces
midol for the cramps
advil for the headaches from the words our mothers scream at us
Zzzquil for the sleepless nights. The nights after heartbreaks from the love we got addicted to.
aloe vera for the sunburns and the sunlight we got addicted to
cherry chap stick for the next boy
the next heart break
because we all know we will get addicted to love again
over
and
over
and over
again.
more aloe Vera because the sun light helps us focus
the sun helps us live.
let's drink more caffeine because that's the only thing we can drink.
let's hang out with all of our fake friends
let's drive the fast cars our parents bought us.
we can't get addicted to being young
because one day we're going to be old
we're going to have our own kids
and they will have their fake friends
and their own fast cars that we bought them.
their lips will smell like cherry chap stick
the smell of heartbreaks and addictions.
you'll scream at them and they will take advil for the headaches
midol for the cramps
accutane for the zits
adderall to focus
zzzquil for the sleepless nights
and in between the screams you will remember that your lips once tasted and smelled like cherry chap stick
aloe vera for the sunburns and the sunlight we got addicted to
cherry chap stick for the next boy
the next heart break
because we all know we will get addicted to love again
over
and
over
and over
again.
more aloe Vera because the sun light helps us focus
the sun helps us live.

ReplyDeleteHey I know I already commented, but I wanted to comment again in reply to your comment. I know that you'll probably see it here before anywhere else. Im pretty sure I know who you are and I am flattered that you read my blog, especially during seminary. It might have been blasphemous because I swear a lot, haha. Sorry if that was a shocker. I always tried not to swear at tennis. But I also wanted to tell you that you are so creative. You have so many unique ideas and are great at communicating them through your writing. Good job :)
