you
can't teach the wrong
loyalty new tricks
Casey Renee Kiser
i've spent too
long
trying to explain
You
to my nerve
endings.
i keep coming up
just short of
reason so,
really,
it will never add
up;
trying to connect
those
fuzzy-fuckery dots-
visions,
blackouts and
black veils.
i played too long
on the flaming
slide-
devil's
playground, my
angels
are through
letting it slide.
i'm not
apologizing to
You,
but to my common
sense
for being the
worst
tour guide ever. i
wanna
forget
how i'd slide and
swing
till sunset and
after
hours, but we both
know
that
witching hour
was all mine.
now i just
hang
at the dog park
and would
rather
step in shit than
see your face
again.
