The Faux Socialite

Sun drunk on ecstasy burning away your melatonin

There’s no sleep for sinners, so spin as you begin

Your descent into addiction, plaster a grin on your chin

You’re ‘fine’, the dark circles are just a trick of the light on your skin


I’ve seen these patterns on you before

This one last time, I’ll let it be something I ignore

Since I abhor the way you pour your soul away as you explore

The boundaries of your body, so I won’t watch anymore


I’ll cover my eyes while you waste away, the faux socialite

No longer rise to bring you home in the middle of the night

I miss your eyes, but they’ve long since lost their light

So this is my final farewell, my last goodbye to you, tonight
