David Harkins
Summer, you’re
unwelcome in my room,
leave me be, overwhelmed by grief.
Drunk on
whiskey from The Pharaoh’s Tomb I’m weak as a pacifist,
I’m eaten alive by
jealousy, only god knows why.
Just like only god knows why Alan said coming
out is fab and brill
like falling in love.
Summer, be gone! Alan’s gone.
Family and friends are gone.
Neil Young is right: Only love can break your
heart.
My heart is unmendable.
I am forever in my room, heartbroken, and
nobody is there,
forever spending my days killing time until time kills
me.
