We pull our boots on with both handsbut we can't punch ourselves awake and all I can do is stand on the curb and say Sorryabout the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine. I couldn't get the boy to kill me, but I wore his jacket for the longest time.Richard Siken
About This Quote
We pull our boots on with both hands but we can’t punch ourselves awake and all I can do is stand on the curb and say Sorry. I wish it was mine. I couldn’t get the boy to kill me, but I wore his jacket for the longest time. I took off his clothes, but I couldn’t change my life.
This is how it went, each night the same thing again. The moon came up over the mountains and watched me sleep, but still I dreamed.
