Hellogoodbye

He cut his feet on bladed grass
Sitting in our silenced nonsense
Watching beer bottle eyes
Drunk
Being young the illness
Symptoms based on stupidity

He was just a boy
To naïve to swallow the truths
She loved him
But not his father
The new guys were “just friends”

Exciting in a short time
He couldn’t know  
Drunks are attracted to light
A glowing beam of a Chevy
Caught his attention

Waking to breaking news
His mother never
Did look good
Dressed in black
