v and Me.
a pair of velour pants, and an old concert t-shirt
and that's pretty much all that's left of the real you
this you is too...
too... not you?
but tucked away safely in my memory is the wild exciting
creature that you used to be
those electric eyes and those thrilling summer evenings on the beach
we were a force, you and i
we were alive in a way that i can no longer comprehend
with all of our borrowed charm
and raw young beauty
enhanced by our one true love:
eyeliner.
i never thought that of the two of us it would be me to grow up
i didn't know that your spirit would die with your youth
of course how could i?
i was after all, only 14.
