Get Me Off This Train
Chinola passion fruit liquor
Reminds me of a different time.
A simpler time.
A time where I felt more me.
A time where the need to impress was not needed.
A time where friendship was easy.
I say that as two of my friends
Interrupt me.
To start a simple, casual, true conversation.
Then it becomes four people.
Then six.
Then eight.
A new reminder comes.
I am not who I used to be.
I am comfortable with where I am at.
It is has been approximately 5 hours since I started this poem.
The vibe constantly shifting.
Distractions used to kill the time.
The moon looks so alive,
And I look the opposite.
“I am happy with where I am at.”
That’s what I tell myself.
But
I think I’ve finally learned.
I prefer to be alone.
Except for you,
With your sweet baby blues.
Keeping yourself occupied
All while I riddle my mind
Over answers you already know.
Please take me to bed.
I think I’m getting nostalgic,
Lethargic.
