CANCER RISING

Falling into the void, and it looks like a mirror that you decorated with boys From the past several years, plenty tears of the same vintage of wine you drank - at the all you can eat buffet Balloons falling, birthday celebration He was smiling, but he didn’t know That you were losing self control Falling in love with different reflections of yourself Straightened your beret, and cried until the maskara covered your face like venom It was a conversation about politics, he said whoever wore Versace got his vote Meanwhile the rope around your neck was now covering your chest - and the only means of escape, was living dreams you neglect-ed as a young kid You prayed that the sun wouldn’t set on your eyes As you scroll through pinterest, watching cat videos on the internet Crying through the pillows, it’s getting heavier by the second Danced in front of willows, a spin of eternity Living so fragile while sinners are urging you To become part of the Zodiac Age Swiping right on every face Until a connection seems spirit bound And then you get to know them out of town Every dinner Basquiat, every touch Balenciaga All of this while eating at Olive Garden With coupon codes, and thrifted clothes Lifestyle of the young and aesthetically in tune It’s a life that we lived, rituals done on zoom As he said he loved you and you were consumed By the worry that it’s all facades So you cried again And told your heart to put it on God
