Chapter 42: streetlights

bloodredroses | poetryWords: 659

golden child, angel of tonight

won't you save me from the fire?

streetlights, some supplies, spinning tires -

heat up black tar

just to go so very far...

under wires, I see only the reflections in your eyes

and I bet, you too see nothing more in mine.

we carry pretty lies,

to go so well with our attire

and being honest what you just said

didn't sound so right,

so please just hush and kick the pedal and drive

another time,

towards the city lights

and smile -

'cause ain't it fun to romanticize?
