My Whole Damn Life

Nathanael Mehrens


i stayed up too late last night - had one too many cigarettes
and when i finally fell asleep - between the sheets
i dreamed that you came to me
put your arms around my waist
and smiled sweetly up into my face

you said

no one really knows the truth
and everybody's scared
but i'm glad he really understands
the way i've felt my whole damn life
