I’m cheating on you with your boyfriend I’m cheating on you with your boyfriend who you’re cheating on who’s cheating on you who I’m cheating on with you who I’m cheating on with him Does that make sense? Does this make sense? When I receive your Eucharist when you pass my lips is it strange that I taste him? When his midday musk wafts under my nose when he caresses my skin before entering my brain is it strange that I smell you? Is it strange? Is it strange? Is it strange that after years of cheating in thought want and spirit the first person I cheat on in action is a cheater?

seeing both sides// cheating on
Who the **** am I like what have I become I’m high and it’s like I used to be someone else. Pinky promise Can’t break that **** Apologize to A and B-girl and C Everyone judging me big fear It’s upsetting you know because I want that life with the beautiful friends and the all-night partying and the strange clarity you have while still drunk enough to have fun but I always go too far and **** it up I always crash so early and that’s just disappointing. X is very sad. Y and Z are hooking up. Z seems cool. I would like to be his friend. He is nice. Sorry for hooking up with Y maybe? Honestly what a nice guy apologize to him too Why am I apologizing so much it’s ****** that I am so sorry about what I do. Maybe I should stop saying sorry to other people and start saying sorry to myself. Because I create these situations where intoxication is the only environment where I’m confident but it’s always too much too fast and I crash. I’m sorry I can’t be alive for the whole evening. I recall bits and pieces and never the whole thing. It’s like I can make that high school awkwardness disappear but maybe it was that high school awkwardness that made it so valuable. Maybe I don’t deserve the confidence this has given me. Maybe I have to earn it. My anxiety has been off lately. It’s confusing and unexpected. I need to stop saying sorry I feel like such a loser That’s the meanest thing you call someone. Someone who never gains in the long term, who loses whatever small empire they build because they ****** up. It’s better to be an idiot than a loser because at least idiots gain some things. Girls like idiots. Guys like idiots. I wonder about where I stand and who I am a lot

agony at last anger, fierce and friendly envelops me in a seductive kiss I wail, I shriek, I appeal to the gods above that have forsaken me this is terror this is triumph this is pain this is pleasure this is that and so much more emotions cascading and crashing against my stony facade

at last
I’m on my knees everyone is and they’re crying so I’m crying I’m on my knees listening trying my hardest to hear a voice I’m on my knees staring at the altar turned to the tabernacle our father hail mary glory be nothing but they’re crying so they must hear something and if they hear something then then shouldn’t I? but for seventeen years I haven’t heard a voice haven’t seen a vision of light haven’t felt eternity haven’t smelled blood and brimstone or touched the wounds of an ancient god so why should I feel anything now? I stand up and leave And finally I smile

I told him a bedtime story tonight stood over him as he thrashed mad in the throes of far away passion wild in the warm embrace of jack and coke he needed a happy story so I told him one about two beautiful princes who fell in love and saved the world what were their names? I told him their names and he fell asleep, lost in dreams of a world where two princes in love would be a completely normal thing

the sky in california is a different shade of blue the sort that whispers in your ear and tells you to rest the sort of sky that beckons you to sleep the marijuana breeze a blanket over your body the sky speaks to us all to the crack addled maniac wailing in the riverbed to the almond growers laughing in the fields to the housewives caking their faces to cover bruises left by their lovers to the ******* kids speeding on the freeways in early autumn when the heat makes children cry and the forests fall to fire and wind the sky tells you to close your eyes and wait in winter when the sky is more gray than blue and the ocean thrashes with wild anxiety the sky tells you to wait and in the spring when the rains finally come and the hills burst with green the sky tells you to wait but in the summer when the sun never goes down and the roller rink never closes the sky sings to you and tells you to wake up

she was a flower not because she was beautiful although she certainly was not because she was delicate although she certainly was but because she lived quickly because she died quickly and once she was gone she was forgotten quickly and her petals were tossed in the trash and her stem buried in the ground and her nectar dried up and all that was left was her glass house until that too cracked and crumbled to dust mother always said that weeds were best you cared about weeds you hated them you remembered them and mother always said it was better to be hated and remembered than loved and quickly forgotten shame then that I loved a flower because I can’t even remember her name
