[Summer Lover] I have taste -

once again you stand alone beside me,
dear friend, don't tell me we have lost it
once again;

its been a while since i have felt
this screaming in my head,
its been a while since i did think
that maybe i am dead.

i love you like cocaine,
i love you like tar driveways peeling off the gravel
and all around my skin,
i love you like black tulle sewn into dresses,
i love you like new years,
like salads
like the sidewalk on the mainstreet,
i love you like kissing,
like smoking pipes,
like cigarettes,
like acting my age,
my suitor,
i love you like my mother,
i love you like the city (and more)

(i have gone unmad and i have gone silent).

if you were to rip my head open you might find tar
where you once stood and you might find strings that
do not work but i am still happy you were here

and you were here,
like cocaine, tar and ramala, i love you.
