seventeen
by newmoney on September 19, 2009you lay in concrete covered in puke and sweat
the night black and speckled with street lights
the shop keeper
the people
the police
the bottle behind the bushes
hands covered in sticky liquour
an ambulence alarm in the distance
tears falling down my face
delirious with fear and over stimulation
nails digging in my back
trying to comfort me
and promise me everything will be alright
i dont know you
i dont want to
my shoe is stuck in chunks
you lay motionless
barely breathing
dead weight
i couldnt lift
my thoughts only worry about
your future
your mother
your health.
in complete shock
of how things can change
in fifteen minutes
no longer dancing on stage
holding a guitar
no longer rubbing against a much older man
no longer laughing and dancing
only close to death on sidewalk concrete
beneath stangers and streetlights
