you kiss me like I'm a blank page you're writing a new poem across my lips. each stroke of your tongue scripts another line.

You should hate me but you don't.
You should hate me but you won't.

If there's one thing no one gets to see me at it's at my utmost misery. I revel in that and in that alone, I heave long chains of smoke that bubble gum, snap and pop, I have to say I can't believe we've made it this far, you and I. But on the crook of this spinning night I sit simply with a stranger to the right of me at my dinner table. I can't say I feel much towards this situation besides lonely indifference, like the tingle my nose gets if I rip for too long, I can't say it's been much of an amusement, his voice hums dumb like a drone.

slept with my window open so I could hear your voice call to me as the wind turned my sheets into roaring seas around my frame

my tongue curls as i light my ciggie boy and pull in, fire to a furnace, i wait for ash to spill as i tick near its tip, and of you, much like the wind, my mind wanders and shifts and settles, steady mania spirals through me, grabs me and drags me by the spine. if it wasn't for the hood of my sweater, my head would've blown away with the dead leaves of my backyard's oak tree.

(1.) i like to wander in my loneliness,
stray like a mere cat, spread ash
beneath my feet and leave a dusty
trail for all to ponder upon. (2.) i once met a man capable of convincing me that he painted the sky blue with his icey tone. (3.) i once met a woman capable of dying my skin brown, my eyes yellow, my heart a mellow melon. (4.) besides each other and thus simply falling apart, they scholar'd a greedy need in me to seed the earth and soil my hands but never the hemp of my skirt and so i lie awake this maroon-collar'd night, a silly-hearted stranger writing to you in what I pretend is anonymity, once again of how exactly it feels like to be confused of oneself. it becomes even sillier and sillier as the day wears on, it seems.

i spitfire the words out so that you don't fill up my head with all of your thoughts, I'd like to remember as little of you as possible, it seems silly, but I'm only protecting, me, and you. i spew the words out so that the only way you could ever stop me is to kiss me, i belch the words out so that all you'll ever think about is me and my words and the way i string them to you, my subtle promises, like a quite poem hushed beneath my husky breath, i want me on your mind at all times.
