liz/dragons

fuck the game, 

not the rapper 

but this ‘thing’ 

we say we play...

i’m not gay

yr jest straight-

wait

the 

weight

is too heavy

to carry 

me from the car-seat, 

i fell asleep 

on the ride home

always seems shorter-

find me a shiny penny

i’ll trade you this here

quarter

back broke his back

when i was a kid

i never imagined

dragons didn’t

exist

for me again, liz, 

please?

we don’t have to have kids

but can’t we at least 

have fun

in this sun- and, if you’d like to be

laid in the shade or just lay 

in the shade with me, that’d

be okay, that’d be great 

of course

i’m fine 

just having you in my life, by my

side; you’re already in my mind

like the name of an artist on the tip

of your lips,

like a word on the tip of my tongue-

when i was young i never thought it

possible to become the definition

of sadness 

i was happy just to be, 

happy just to exist

for me again, liz, please?

we don’t have to have kids

but can’t we at least have

fun and pretty

please

pretty?
