Big Boy Boots

Listening to Je Te Laisserai Des Mos by Patrick Watson and I think it shows.

Decadent chocolate
Pineapple pizza
Papa Rick's Truffles

A high school pool
Underwater lights
Luminous eyes

Lollies sucked dry
A sunshine jacket
Rainbow painted boots

A beautiful boy
Untouched by time
Standing still
In a current of tadpoles

Newspaper dreams
Fort covered smiles
A blue moon

Dancing with a friend
Holding each other close
Laughter shared quick
A kiss on the cheek

Tears falling from his head
A lonely boy
Alone again

Time left him alone
But his friends were always gone
By the time he got home
They were never as lucky
And they were never just friends

His heart was breaking
Seeping through his boots
Soaking into the ground
Taking its full
Of all his sorrows

Avocado toast
Sweet tasting wine
Alone with his thoughts
Monochrome boots

The lonely boy
Always alone

Tears falling from his head
A lonely boy
Alone again

Kinda sad, kinda how I feel :/
