Random Poem:

i need gasoline
Gabriella

The asphalt's full of the tiny stones
 1
that once rolled down the mountain
 2
in the clouds.
 3
But I remember when you came
 4
to tear it down to roll it flat
 5
and colour purple polka dots;
 6
just so I could fly to you
 7
every rainy night.
 8
 
 
There were signs and billboards
 9
and about a million yellow signs
 10
that just seemed to scream
 11
and say nothing just so I could pull up your driveway.
 12
 
 
You'd stand in the doorway, with
 13
darkened melancholy eyes.
 14
I wish tonight could be that night.
 15
Every motion seems phony and contrived,
 16
but if you would make my phone ring,
 17
I'd fill the tank with gasoline and leave.
 18
