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
