Bobby

is anybody in here?

I’ve been looking for my brother

she said he disappeared before he was even born

but I see him every night by the fire

with his

temper

failure

find me a second chance

I’ve really ruined my first

my youth is dead and gone

I am my father’s son

bet the queen against the crown

trouble has found me,

just like you did

wear it like an open wound

covered and protected

save it like an open wound seeping and infected

now lick it like an open wound but feel no shame

don’t you dare let them see you bear your weight unevenly
