Peter Pan Boy

Perter Pan boy

Who can never find satisfaction 

What are you running from

And why do I think it’s you?

Wild boy 

Who dances like he could not care less whose watching 

But mesmerizes everyone who does

Do you know what you are becoming?

.

Lover boy 

Who takes virginities like it’s his job

Was the open relationship your idea

Or hers?

And do you hate her for it?

You told me you had been crazier lately 

And you werent sure why

Sleeping with people like you were 20 again 

Restless

Trying to find satisfaction in another’s body 

But that’s all they are in the end 

Bodies.

You said 

“I’m not sure if I’m trying to fill a void

Because I’m not even sure what the void 

is.”

Poetry boy

who always has a smile 

And will kiss anyone 

And speak about philosophy, scholars and sex in the same breath 

Don’t you know 

If you don’t know yourself

You’ll never know what your running from.

You’ll never find it 

In the drugs or drinks 

Cigarettes or bodies 

You’ll keep running 

Until you collapse 

And have to figure out 

If you have a void

Or if you are the void 

Itself.

Peter Pan boy 

You never learned how to grow up 

And now you don’t want to.
