we always argue without shoes

i've memorized the back of your head
and the way your neck looks like a pretty woman's thigh
you call me crazy, i say it's intriguing
you're always walking away from me
i crawled underneath my bed and tried to fall through the floorboards
and into the steel pipes where the water flows
i said I wanted to go downriver, and you would never take me
i slip through your fingers like I slipped into that lake the week we went camping
it was last summer, or maybe it was the one before that
sleeping on the floor reminds me of the war
loud noises remind me of children
or was it the other way around?
the back of your head looks like it did two years ago
i told you, i've memorized it
you think i'm crazy
you're probably right
but, it's how i like to live

i've made the decision to start putting things i've written over the past 8 months in here. Slowly, and randomly. Most of them are weird and sometimes hard to follow, but maybe someone can appreciate them. I wrote them under delusional thinking mostly.
