Weekend (tracks 5-7 on repeat)

hey all, i haven't posted a poem here before...only a few times on ther boards. i dont write much except in my head lately but felt inspired friday night and managed to hold on to it for a couple days

Weekend (tracks 5-7 on repeat)

Friday…
The evening of a horrible day
Peaked with a shower.
Out the steamed window
A tiny moon stared at me…almost expectantly.

Hours later I sipped sprite at the bar,
Trying to slow myself down
From drinking too much
To drown the violence inside my head.

The tori amos sound-alike
Made me want to cry
(Or atleast leave).
She whined about pain and love
In a voice so beautiful,
I thought she had to be beautiful
Until I saw her scarred and wrinkled face.

The lines around her mouth
Spoke as loudly as her music about true love
And the lines around her eyes,
About the sharpest pain.

Saturday…
The bed tried to push me out
I resisted.

Sunday…
After I woke him up the third time,
L finally got up.
The house seemed quiet and lonely
Despite the constant chatter and giggles
From his son…
Who will probably hate me in ten years

By noon
I hoped the day would be over soon
And that my paper
Will write itself
In the next 24 hours.

When visions of beaches
Vacations
Escape
Filled my head,
(Welling up like a boulder
In my chest-)
I realized I forgot
To take my medication
