Would You Like Some Cheese With That Whine

By liquid_emotion

You’re looking jaded
But I’m watching the sun fade
Talking about life
While I’m ready to live once I die
You hate these moments
I’m living them
Knowing they will pass
You keep looking back
I save that for nighttime dreams
Don’t hand me your burdens
On a platter of conversation
Because I’m fasting
Living off contemplation
Wake up and look beyond yourself
Pathetic and whining
I see you and move on
