Cassie Three

Why dream of empathy, sitting on a wall, too drunk to speak, enough to raise the stakes, risk being torn, the useless dates we make, I wait for the seasons, with my crown of thorns, giving up on reason, kids about the place, being cast forlorn, I have to act brave, don’t look at me diseased, like you’ve been caught, pissing in the sea, lend a hand that shakes, absence your only call, understand why I hesitate, this is not really me, jellied to the core, a flower of deep tranquility, no one ever loved.
