tea

november.28.2000

Tea's not all that great,
but if flushes you right out.
It keeps you wide awake,
and that's what it's about.

It's 3 a.m. right now,
I have school tomorrow too.
The gallon tea I drank,
is reminding me of you.

When it gets this late at night,
and I cannot close my eyes.
I just sit here and I think,
and my longing for you cries.

I wish they hadn't bought,
that big huge thing of tea.
I'm writing stupid poems,
and missing you with me.

I never say the things,
that I think of every day.
You know that I'm for real,
and I will not go away.

It's starting to wear off,
I can finally go to sleep.
Remember what I said,
These promises I'll keep.
