Green Mantis 💚

Monk mantis

I can suppose, almost surely, that you're no longer available to show up in my dreams

You were expecting someone else to feel disappointed

The honorable story of the man in the orange jacket, the black beanie and the laser gun

Says thanks when he's not supposed to, but never learned to say sorry

Lame excuses at best, defining and rusting from inside out

Diving down the well to steal pennies

Each wish of them is now yours

But nothing happened when you tried it yesterday

When you're in deep agony it reverberates so loud I can hear, and I understand

But I never reach you, and you know why

Tomorrow came with all the answers

Is that what you wished for?

You narrowed down all our memories to just that one night I didn't pick up the phone from being too busy counting dead prayer mantis on the side walk

Did you wish for a boat so you wouldn't sink on me? My heavy heart weights as much as you do

I don't want to find out how well I can live without you, please, come back to my dreams
