Take Care

by: Johnny Slate

We said "take care"
We are not invincible
But we are untouchable

Kill me slowly
With greedy indulgences
Or lack of necessities

I know the middle road is the fastest
But sometimes I enjoy the scenic route
Just... don't get lost

You pulled me to my feet
And as I left again
You pulled me close
And
Whispered in my ear
Your voice like a sweet tea
Poured through a hole in my brain
To clean my senses
And rejuvinate my determination

All you said:
"take care"
