Poems

teenwitch / i’m still waiting for you to take me away

we’re all riots when
you think about it

unmasked
pyromaniacs

with that mugshot
aesthetic

there’s years between
our rise
and fall but

we’re both rotten
to the core

the same speed

as comatose

a slow drip of morphine

meant to stave off the
void

i only know one number
by heart and when you

dial it

it’s the voice of
a dead girl

but sometimes you
pick up instead

and you’re probably
dangerous at

the highest
level

but you’re a saint
compared
to sleeping
devils

and tomorrow

we’ll be canonized

or

arrested for pointing
toy guns at
real monsters

and then firing

and then lying
