you're like alcohol because you make me feel like I'm being wasted. you're like alcohol because I always feel sick after a night binging on you.

Watch the heartbreak melt away
Like an orange dreamsicle on hot sidewalks in front of your garage
Where bikes hang from ceilings, and cars stay clung to the earth
The smell of gasoline so faded by the warm rush of summer air
Parsley and tomatoes growing fruitfully from moist mulch

Watch the heartbreak melt away
Like the happiness leaving a familiar face
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings"
Those words running over and over and over in your head like a treadmill I never used.
Hands leaving space and entering shyly into fleece pockets

Watch the heartbreak melt away
Watch the heartbreak
Away

You fly away when I want to hold you and you fly away when I don't give you attention.

What kind of bird are you?

how do I wish you happiness and good luck?
I kissed a boy with his nose pierced and a native american tattoo on his arm.
why haven't I been worth fighting for and revisiting?
you just vanished and it hurt more than getting stabbed.

when i'm with you
everything else seems so
insignificant

you want to know
my
true
feelings
well ******* for lying to me
******* for wasting my time
well ******* for pretending to like me
and ******* for wasting my love
*******
*******
