“My friends are making out

in the corner of my room and I’m not

the third wheel but my lips are not

being caressed either. They’re laughing

in-between breaths and I’m rolling

another joint in-between taking shots

of Jack Daniels, while Lana Del Rey’s

Cruel World fills my ears and pot smoke

fills the room. I am not taken but i am not

alone either. The man I love is miles away

and all I can do is wait, and all I can do

is make friends with patience but sometimes

it can really get under my skin

by getting under my hands while they

try not to rush what needs to already happen.”
