do you become a bad person when you start snuffing out half a pack of cigarettes in your daily six pack of beer

i will stop writing poetry like a eulogy when you start making me feel alive

Sext: listen to our song and feel your heart crumble in your chest

do not date a girl
who writes.
she will internalize
everything,
carve poems
into your eyelashes
instead of
kissing them,

she will analyze you,
calculate age
from the rings
your coffee cup
leaves
instead of refilling it.

she will memorize
the way your
lips curl around steam,
but not that you
take it
two sugars,
no cream.

she will read your
palm instead of
holding it
against her chest.

she will not
blink
when you leave,
because she is
already
romanticizing it.
