It's not gonna go how Star Trek planned

Life isn't episodical.
After a day ends, you just don't forget,
The nightmares that came true 
Before you fell asleep. 
Captain Kirk can love a million girls, 
He'll never mention them again. 
"If they're pretty, I'll love them for 30 minutes." 
Nobody acts like that. 
Cause I'm really not gonna be able to forget you just like that
The image of your face burned into my brain. 
And I love it now. 
I don't wanna cry this June.

  • leaving the heart

    she takes the stairs, 

    her heels click clacking down the hardwood steps. 

    she turns the tarnished silver doorknob, 

    and the door creaks open. 

     

    before her sits a man. 

  • too far to hold

    I catch a glimpse. 

    from afar, 

    the shine of his silky hair in the golden sunlight

    his expression unreadable, 

    as if he's pondering something he'd never tell a soul. 

  • watching him

    Kathy watched out her window as Samuel left his apartment, 

    spit his gum on the ground

    and lit his cigarette. 

    the same as yesterday. 

    the same as every day.
