Crab Legs

by Yakari Gabriel & Chelsey   Oct 10, 2012


I've been looking for something.
I can't tell you exactly what it is
but I know, it must be somewhere.
in a corner perhaps, across
the street...

A void, a replacement, anything
to obliterate your wasteful compliments
and infamous memories. I've been
searching for a reason...
to move forward.

yet every time I take a few steps,
something pulls me back
and I, I feel like I can't let go
just yet. tell me what have
you done, where were you taught
to simply swoon people like that

Teach me how easily you
can whisk people out of their
comfort zone and leave them
in a foreign place. A place where
tourist can read "in love" on my
forehead and "alone" on my chest.

because my thick ways of finding things out, have grown thin.

    Oh girls....Oh girls...
    I saw Yaki's praise for Chelsey on Twitter and had meant to comment on this...because I just think the both of you are dead amazing and I know that some parts of this are definitely Chelsey's but I won't divulge which because I have an unfair advantage and anyway...the whole thing is like totally awesome...
