one way to be taken
deep breaths and shallow thoughts
walking home
at 4am by myself
alone
your picture and limbs wrapped around my mind so tight
i'm fighting for air
sucker punching the staring shadows
wondering why and how and when i got here
and knowing i'd rather be somewhere else
or i'd be standing still
you'd think me
polite and gentlemanly
and not dressing you in costumes to entertain the beats
as my falling feet collide with real
i know me better
