sometimes
I
wonder
did
your friends
warn
you
like
mine
warned
me?
did
they look in those
sugar
eyes sugar?
beware
of that boy
he's
not what he seems
he's
poison
so
controlling
maybe
a firm hand on
your
shoulder
maybe
two hands
on
two shoulders
make
that eye contact
really
count
we
don't trust him
and
you'd smirk a bit
roll
sugar eyes
eyes
I'll never
look
into again
at
least not
while
I pump
it's
a funny thing
when
no one's pulling
for
your love
when
you feel attacked
how
isolating
that
can be
me
and you against the world
me
and you against the fucking world
me
and you fucking against
isolated
insulated
protecting
and protected
and
the bombs
and
the shells
they
were hitting
they
were landing
around
and somewhere
above
us
shocked
our world
rocked
our apartment
plaster
dust snowed onto shaved heads
chandeliers
swung
fixtures
unfixed
lights
dimmed
on
and off
in
the end
in
the last days
the
isolation was maddening
a
fever
a
bunker
Adolf
and Eva
