state of graceA Poem by Saigemy first love and my only love
We were too young to be
caught in a state of grace during the summer. Eleven weeks hiatus from everything that went wrong freshman year of high school. I know it wasn’t planned, but I don’t regret it happening. Mayday Parade’s still my favorite band; I remember each second of you with me during every other second of that stupid angsty playlist. The drum beats could’ve been my heartbeat; the words could’ve been yours. I stopped feeling lost that night - I felt like you found me, even though that road would have been treacherous if we were anybody else. So you flew me to places I hadn’t been and that night is as close as we ever got to having our own song. Didn’t regret being fifteen and young and stupid for a couple hours. No, we shared a bottle of whiskey; felt like amber fire in my throat because we were witches they were gonna burn in the morning, but it was anesthetic that kissed my stomach too. We’re numbers in each other’s pockets, but not a phone call away. So you should take care of yourself after I leave, ‘cause they might just light us up if they ever find out. © 2018 SaigeReviews
