Katch the Bus
a friendless girl who's everyone's friend
sniffling through a red bunny nose
her teary eyes catch your attention
standing by the bus station
crossing arms to hide her heart
flowing hair to distract your gaze
you poke the bear to kill the time
her arms fall to her sides
no sounds come out at first
as if she’s a mime
tears flow to the ground
as she starts slurring her words
yet still she makes them rhyme
you wait for her —and the bus—
so her speech starts making sense
"I seem to be so far away
the closer I get the less steps they take
and although you hear me
I am somewhere else
the illusion of the body you see
only breathes to mimic normalcy"
two mounts of white on both your laps
rays of gold from the window colour them
the road is shaky masking her shudders
fellow passengers don’t seem to care
but you assure her you are both there
"you’re drained enough for the both of us
the ones you love the most
are the ones causing this facade
you want all controle
but you're not a god”
you hide no pride in your firm tone
watching as her face softens up
“that’s my stop” you give her a grin
knowing you won't see her again
she's just another cute girl on the bus
