You think I am ok. You think I am ok, don’t You
I bet You think I’m just fine
The payback’s like a boomerang. It remembers everything. It comes after everyone
I didn’t New Year text myself back into your life – look at me growing up:
Too many espresso martinis
A glass of vodka half empty. I bet yours is always half full; I think it’s the patriarchy or my desire
to pull a Sylvia Plath
I am joking, just joking, my oven is electric
The floor’s wet: my chest split open
Why the chest? Unspecified!
Everybody knows the grief’s in the hips, duh
It’s the perfect lie:
Too much pressure
Too much to want
Too much to need
Not enough willingness to try (sad music playing in the background)
I do not qualify as a bullet point, nor do feelings mean anything
You wouldn’t show mercy, nor would you knock on my door
some time in the far far ahead, after a protracted period of doing all the things you wanted to do with your life – eyelashes heavy; deep breaths on my couch. Except: I do not own a couch.
On the floor, yes, ok, on the floor – It’s the perfect description of hitting rock bottom
But give it another six months…I dare you, or is this a promise?
The payback’s never too late nor too early. It remembers everything. It comes after everyone.
Kneeling in the middle of the room, making you feel cool
Do you want me to stop? Or, would you want me to join? Skilful mastery of performing for two – I can take care of us both.
Pretty little moments:
Unbiased trivia for hoes or never looking back in the name of dodging THE bullet?
Stalker alert or rolling our boulder up the hill? Intense you say
As in: I’d die tomorrow if I could. I actually tried a couple of times. Some time between August and June
Everybody knows the second year’s always harder than year one. Why? Undefined! Or, perhaps
As in: crazy pathetic I kinda hate your guts now
Everybody knows it’s terribly romantic to die from a broken heart
The floor’s wet: My chest split open. Kneeling in the middle of the room, making me feel – love tastes like Nivea body soap for men and capitulation…bubbles, bubbles everywhere
