mark

he had vacant eyes, a broken heart

wore a lopsided smile

i wanted to help him through his bad news

cause he couldn't seem to escape for a while

he needed a break, a long one at that

such a sweet kid until he lost his dad

viciously ripped from the world in a fit of rage

onto the next page

mark, i'm here for you

please don't push me away

into the backrooms of your mind

i know the way around mine

i just want some of your time

together we can push through

all it takes is a little bit of me and you

and mark frequented sitting at my lunch table

bitching at how his mom lost cable

and how his nana built rocket ships in her room

and like a flower, his face bloomed

he had these gorgeous brown eyes

a heap of dark brown hair, his smile bigger than before

all it took was him to talk about his family

where he finally felt free

mark, i'm here for you

please don't push me away

into the backrooms of your mind

i know the way around mine

i just want some of your time

together we can push through

all it takes is a little bit of me and you

i love you mark
