Petty Girl Problem #I lost count a long time ago

Here's another
whiny poem
where I lyrically
complain
about
how he doesn't pay
any attention to me
even though I know full well
that he isn't
obligated to

Keeping a corpse
as company
cold hands to match mine
at least this one
stays
At least this one
listens
warmth it seems
corrupts

I have your name
caught in my throat
with every new
face
I smile upon
I want to swallow it
and find another
to put between my lips

It's the deadpan
he said
moving his hand
across his face
No
It's me
I thought right back

Your Silence Puts Me On The Stake

Honestly
I'd rather be stabbed once
than slowly burned to death
so look me in the eye
and **** me clean

What did you say?
I'm wearing your words on
my wrist
instead of reading them
Flat before me

Truth On The Rocks

Give it to me straight
a shot of reality
Don't bother with a chaser
I'm used to the burn
afterwards I'll be numb
anyway
