From Scrumpy, With LoveA Poem by Katie KistlerL
My best friend, she's the weekend
The party that was talked about My best friend tells stories At least a book a day by mouth And she's skin and bones Just a bag of smoke She smells like home When I feel alone My best friend, she's my shadow The best that I have ever known My best friend My best bet One day she's hot, one day she's cold My best friend My fest briend I say I love you She says I know And your Star Wars references Won't make me wanna cuddle any more She lights a smoke and checks her phone Criss cross apple sauce We sleep all day and waste away Just want to get stoned Just want to cry Just want to be emo all the time Just want to die And it's a joke but it's getting old Sing alongs on the tag alongs We drive and have no place to go I got fifty cents That's a cigarette I wish I had a cherry Coke But I've got you and you've got me I miss you when you're not at home I don't know why, kid Why I tried this Tried to make myself belong I'm sorry that I need a hand To simply help me move along A gentle shove A little love Even if it might feel wrong Cause I gotta get out You wanna get down and jam Mosh pits, swing dance, punk rock bands And we're drunk And I have got my finger in your mouth How did it get there God this is such a mess I laugh hysterically and then I pour another drink And I sit on the roof and try to think I think science What is science Evolution and design I think college Maybe college I just want things to be mine And mine alone I need a home To myself and no one else All alone All alone My best friend is not my home So I sing on and on and on it goes We only have a year or so Before I go to look for more You can always knock on my door On and on and off I go Gotta find a brand new home So later skater Later, man Find someone else to be your right hand man © 2017 Katie Kistler |
