shooting slowA Poem by Earthrisewho let isolation get so easy
alone together
we are just strangers across the bar millions of missed connections shooting slow in one direction we owe each other more than looks but our hearts get stuck in our throats there's a bear in every other seat they're as scared of you as you of them i have to think that you are desperate if you are not, then what am i a lonely heart with a silly pen making excuses for their hollow soul let me be the honey to your grizzly but i'm sure i'll live if you say no i do have a silly pen that's with me when i'm killing friends i can sit against your stares held firm by the bulwark of my ego so feel free to do your worst as long as you do something the stories of your friends and foes you'll remember to your dying day but the tale of the face you do not know will die before you see the dirt i swear to god that i am here writing a shy hello unheard tell me that they'll read it tomorrow tell me i am more than [ ].
