~Pennies~

all I
know is
where we
are and
where we've
been the
heartbeat
of this
star-crossed wanderer

close your eyes
lean on me
all your
weight goes
on me

all the
pennies in
the well
went ahead
fire copper
shines out
bright you
say you're
unlucky but
but luck
isn't what
you really need

maybe if
you ungrit
teeth once
in awhile
you can
enjoy and
see if
you look
hard enough

it's only a moment
before I'm gone
shooting star
it helps
you sleep
hold me tight
because the
world looks
better trough
your eyes

teach my skin
how to feel now
all your
weight goes
on me now
even when
the world
gets loud
I'll be
around
