she took one look
at my self-portrait
and said it doesn't
even look like you

and I tripped on
the fourth step
up the stairs
but turned
around
and said
**exactly

i drink my weight in
stress relief tea, although
i'm not sure how cinnamon
relieves that and i've spent
at least two days watching
Korean dramas on Netflix
fighting in my sleep and
trying desperately to figure
out what exactly it is that I want
and would i be happy with this
want because I feel the way
soft baby tomatoes do at the
bottom of the bowl

if you're still out
there and if you
still read these and
if you still remember
the password to my
private blog, if you
still have my diary
entry and that painting
that flask, that TV that
shirt, those jeans, if you
still remember me, my
skin, my hips, the way
i smile, if you haven't
erased me off your
elbows, brushed me
off your chest, wiped
me against your pockets
find my chapstick in an
old jacket and call me



hey, chris. call me.

(today)he talked a whole
lot and i only listened
till i realized that stupid
satillo blanket was over
my knees and you tacked
that little 3x5 dia de los
muertos card beneath
my corkboard and
wrapped me up
(14 months ago.)

a skyscraper counted down
the red seconds until I woke
up and i stood naked on the
streets of a dream waiting for
my alarm to go off.

this feeling is familiar
why i haven't responded
how i romanticized the
notion of kissing you
but there it is, I've
locked it down,
I've had you
before.

I find myself watching
movies for the purpose
of having something I
can relate to you about
the composition in
American ****** is
amazing
Or asking
what video game you
think I should buy, I
remember your punctuation
and you use none in your
replies, I'm beyond being
in love with you, so i don't
understand why i'm still
trying to be your
perfect
girl.
