no i won’t take you to the coffee shop
because it’s friday
so you can sit behind the myth of
shelter from your mocha froth
no not even if you thought you were
on another planet,
not even

and i won’t take you to meet your friend
“fake gold chains” or get your name
tattooed to my skin in a different language
even though you might deserve it
for how hard you tried to stand
when i walked in

i won’t take you so you won’t go
because you can stop but you can’t stop
thinking about going
so what’s the difference anyways?
so what’s the difference?
