Un-angelic
I remember us hanging out
Young minds filled with doubt
I finally felt my first blackout
Too young but feeling burnt out
Just a sick college dropout.
I was eighteen, passed out.
You thought I was going to die
Ready to pray to the sky
You told me “Be a tough guy!”
I never knew the reason why
My ankles filled with cigarette burns
Everyone showed their concern
I adored you to the point of no return.
I knew you were my downturn.
You are my depressed Kurt Cobain
At night I like hearing you complain.
I know you are still filled with vain.
We’re bonding over our shared pain.
Know that I can’t be your savior
I struggle with my own misbehavior.
I am not very strong nor angelic.
I am nothing but a broken dead relic.
Never going to be beautiful, tragic Devon
I’m crying tears she sends from heaven.
I promised her you are going to make it till 27.
