downtown blues

i walk with you
downtown is our hell
on a friday night.
i say that
because
i watch you pound drinks
like it was the end of the
world
and your afraid of that..
you look at me with
glossy eyes
a red face
and can barely stand
i can only stay quiet
because your older
yet your acting younger
one word from me
can trigger the switch
that can make you explode..

i walk with you
another circle in
dowtown.
now it's saturday morning
3:46 am
you say you can hold it
as you slur
and swear
and cry out of nowhere
i can only stay quiet
i wanna cry
but i save it
for my rooom
