Drowning

Luke Alex

1 min read

Ass on shore feet dangling in the deep end

I don’t know how to swim but I know how to pretend

Until the guy who I thought was my friend

Gave me a push over the edge

Legs all around but nothing in reach

Just keep swimming is what dory preached

But that’s not what saved me that day

This girl from history who I wanted to be bae

Decided to put her certification to use

Get saved by my crush, I coul...

Treehouse

Luke Alex

1 min read

Climb up a ladder to the top of the tree

To a place where we could go and be

Alone as the moon in a cloudy sky

Sitting in place, but lost in your eyes

We laughed and cried as little kids do

Now I sit here in silence thinking of you

The games we would play and how I’d let you win

But nothing could prepare me for the moment when

You told me after senior year it’s goodbye

I couldn’t stop the tears...

Orange

Luke Alex

1 min read

Look at all these basketballs

All orange like a fruit basket in fall (what?)

Don’t know what I’m saying at all

All focused like I’m on adderall

Taking shots in the back of stall

Before making my casting call

Orange is the new black and I’ll

Get blacked out after to much alcohol

No need to raise the roof, I’m shattering walls

So yeah I’m cliche like a gap at the mall

Like a whore in an orgy I...

Invasion

Take us to your leader

Save us from our feeder!

Nobody is safe for where they roam

They pillage and plunder and take your homes

Maybe we could get along

But our enemy is too strong

Get me to the pentagon

Before all of our friends are gone

We only have a fighting chance

If we stand

Up hand in hand

But we said that last planet

And the other planet

And the other planet

I just don’t understan...

My Decor

My neighbors decor brings all the cops to the yard

And they’re like

Is that a real corpse

Damn right

Is that a real corpse I would ask you

But you have the right to remain silent...

Born Again

Luke Alex

1 min read

Sitting in the back of my grandmas car after church on a Sunday

The wind whooshing through the back seat from the open window

She asked if I wanted to go to heaven, I said someday

She said “do you believe Jesus Christ, died on the cross for your sins and came back from the dead?” I said I do

I never cried

But that was the day that a 6 year old died in the backseat of her 84 Plymouth

Now heave...

Missing Her

Luke Alex

1 min read

No morning would be good, because your text makes it so

A night of rest I would never know

Seeing you again consumes my dreams

And if it seems

A dream

Is all you would ever be

I’d live my life trapped in memories

Your absence leaves an empty space

A pounding heart in a silent race

How do you move on from something you can’t replace?

Without you here, I simply waste away...
