julius
blonde boy blonde boy
ripped skinny jeans
blue-eyed sad boy
acid wash hoodies
comfortless and
your mom was a druggie
went to school where i met you
you hated everything
blonde boy blonde boy
bouncing legs and
vapes in class
you smoked your pot
popped your pills
followed in her footsteps
you never did fit in
you went to school and
pulled up late for class
they ignored you and
mocked you and
laughed at you together
they took your money and
they took your clothes and
stripped you of your dignity
they blew smoke in your face
wrapped their arms around your neck
watched you choke and twist about
your eyes went dead
six months later
you followed their footsteps
and hell welcomed you
with open arms
i miss you everyday
your big smile and your laugh
i miss your sweet face
your boldness and your words
i hope they gave you a switchblade
to carve your poems into your grave
