alien love call

toe tapping
constantly craving
the bus stop
the train
in line for groceries

tune on repeat
same tune on repeat
someone press play
press play again

hands in pockets
a borrowed coat
smells like someone
feels new
someone feels new
feels different
someone feels different
feels the same

someone

single can feel—
like toe tapping, constantly craving
i find myself waiting, the bus stop, the train, in line for groceries

the same tune on repeat
press play again
hands still in pockets

someone

borrowed coat, smells fading
feels worn out
someone feels worn out
feels distant
feels like waiting too long

half-finished thoughts
waiting for clarity
or maybe
just another train

no one wants to live at the bus stop
but sometimes
you forget how to leave

hands still in pockets
borrowed coat still there
still waiting

someone is tired
someone is numb
someone feels nothing
and that feels...worse

waiting for something to move
for someone to call
for someone to care enough
to break the loop

but the same tune plays again
press play again
toe tapping
constantly craving
waiting still...

so la burns
because you're missing
