take me back
to wonka bar days
and “we belong together,”
back when everything
was simpler,
when the only love
we had
was for our favorite cartoons,
when confidence
was barely a thought
in our heads
because we were too young
to comprehend
the feeling of living
in them,
when we danced
like no one watched
and sang
like no one heard,
when even the rainiest days
were full of sunlight.
take me back
to KFC days
and “can’t feel my face,”
the hills had eyes
but they didn’t seem
so wide,
the sun was still bright
and there’s this girl
that i might like,
was it her
or the way
she played the guitar?
maybe it was never
meant to be,
but at least
i’d have a friend
to cheer for me
as i chased down
my college degree
and whatever else followed.
wish i could escape
these current days
where waking up
feels like pain,
where it’s tough
to trust
and i’m struggling
to escape the rut,
that friend i thought
i’d still have
left me quietly,
still think about her
all the time,
and i’ve weakened
as i’ve gotten older,
all the fire
has dimmed
as the confidence shrinks,
and i wonder
how i ever got
to this state
in the first place.
i miss my old friends.
