Ashes To Ashes, Gas Tank and Matches.

"This has nothing to do with being alone."

This has everything to do with being alone.

 

I keep meaning to smell the soccer field Summer left on his skin,

but I also keep forgetting how to breathe.

And I keep comparing myself to the beat blasting through the speakers,

but I never could remember how the end of The Breakup Song went.

 

I hate those stupid steel toed boots.

and every little thing they obliterate

like castles made of sand,

and the jaws of every COB in town.

Riot the latest campaign against our culture.

 

See no evil, Speak no evil, Hear no evil,

and miss out on all the good parties.

Acid sweat keeps one hand on the handle,

and the other over my mouth.

I don't need to go home.

I'll be just fine sitting here alone.

 

My only drug problem is finding the good ones.

Counting with letters is the least of my worries.

Theres unity in moshpits and chaos in the crowds.

 

Sleep is for the weak.

I want to compare you to someone, but I hesitate to give titles, so I won't. But yes this was awkward and random, but very intelligent and well written...

unlike most of your works, i can't picture this scene very well.
your poems usually tell a story; i think you're trying to here but it reads more like a straight poem.
your feelings are vividly shared here but the scene is a little unfocused, to me anyway.
you know the event that transpired to inspire your poem; it's up to you how much you wanna share.
nothing about this poem sucks, btw, i just know you can improve it. you're ready for the next level of learning as soon as you decide to go there.
good writers write- great writers edit.

i like the poem; the last line is brilliant.
