we were
dreamers
when all
we had was time
we had
no money
but
dreaming didn’t cost a dime
watching
the world through shuttered blinds
coloring
outside the lines
ignoring
all the warning signs
nothing
could’ve changed our minds
we were
lovers
of
convenience I suppose
to ward
off loneliness
no
emotions to expose
but play
with fire and you’ll get burned
another
painful lesson learned
another
pensive lover spurned
another
of life’s corners turned
we were
poets
and all
we had were words
carried
dictionaries
like
awkward English nerds
with big
ideas and things to say
and
information to convey
but
other things got in the way
like all
the debts we had to pay
