To drown

[hiccupx15]

Days drag on with
dry laughter and stale smiles,
leftovers from the days before.
Footsteps echo on stairwells,
odd;
wells but no water.
Wells to drown in.
To drown in the acidic atmosphere of
teenage hormones.
To drown in
the lost eyes and
unrecognizable faces.
To drown in
a daydream
of ribbons and stairwells.
Stairwells with echoes.
Echoes and hormones and water.
