TYLER LINDGREN

When we were young.
When we were numb.
When we were scum.
When we were bums.
When we got some.
When we had lungs.
What we keep from.
When we succumb.

You said you're done.
I'd better run.
It's not for fun.
I must be dumb.
You pulled your gun.
I beat my drum.
Your head has spun.
My head is one.

As I said to you my darling blue,
Please don't come back.

It's not you.
What should I do?
Your thoughts askew,
You have no clue.
It's now a zoo,
From any view.
What will ensue,
When we break through?

It's deja vu.
But is this true?
Can I subdue?
Can you renew?
Can I make do?
Can you come to?
Can we see through,
That point of view?

As I said to you my darling blue,
Please don't come back.
