chocolate milk and dirty band-aids,
distant love and horror flicks;
a mix of macabre and lyric
all get me through the day.
you know,
rain is a excellent prescription
for the blues.
I just wish it came in a bottle.
now take into consideration
that I may need medication
to help the time tick by
a little faster without you.
and if I keep my heart on my sleeve,
would you be delicate?
or should I tuck it away
forever in my chest
from grubby hands
that want to rip it apart
for their own amusement?
