self-loathing narcissism, sushi, liquids
I come home after a long day and pull my head off to put back onto the rack. It takes with it all the skin down my back, and I have to shake it out for lint. There it sits among friends and there I sit with mine, Netflix, my phone, and a bottle of wine.

Everyone's Lament
Glanced in a toothpaste splotched mirror this morning and caught you. Sticky start to the day. To see you instead of me...pale you, an oxymoronic wisp of a threat in every way. I’m sure you’d think I’d be disappointed to be robbed of my soft frame, long black details and façade free of shame. I was only content to fully realize resistance to be inane. But I yearned to pass through glass and play with my old-new self… I’d have shattered it to pieces if it weren’t for our health.

sticky reflection
1 I can no longer justify Machiavelli with romance Months of missing you and our terrible glee You were right—fuck me. 3 My friend who loves my garbage heart I dread the day we toss out the ruse Inevitably one of us will choose 2 If the world was fair, you’d be 1 on this page For memory of simplicity, pure, shared I’d trade 1, 3, and 4 and let three be spared 4 You are what proves I was never in distress I don’t love you, I don’t like to keep you Even though you give yourself up to me when I do

year of ruining things
I crave a love so deep that I KID, I'm kidding I crave instant gratification Lust for highs and pursuit does my bidding Save for me your girlish fantasies All my pretty flittering friends I’ll help you pick out the colors But quick relief is my happy end

planning my next beer on pinterest
it's contradictory the way she acts and what she says to me *But was it a definitive answer? You should go back and ask her.* **Don’t tell me something Unless you realize there’s nothing I could ever possibly care about That could come out of your mouth** Was what she said So thanks, man, but I think it might be dead. Why is 'might' your take on that? I know how they work, she'll crawl back. clearly beer me

You look like you'd like to buy me a drink.
How could I have expected you to hear yourself--damaged-- when everything was screaming that I was the siren drawing you to a trap even though--reluctantly-- I always told you I only sang to pass the time

What is this compulsion to observe the obscene Obscure cannibal cases clouding my search history Torture **** new keywords clicking through the red rush its over and over what am I searching for

When I die, give my laptop away to somebody I hated.
Nothing is mine Not tv Not *** Not movies Not texts Not king beds Definitely not the Internet Not cops Not being wet Not my body Or its smell Not comfort Or any modern hell
