counting crows

I like to call this counting crows. A boy told me he liked me while I was high and crying listening to some indie bullshit. My ex girlfriend smoked everyday, 3:11 pm, after school in her backyard, and I guess that is sort of cringeworthy. Tell me you like me. I like to call this counting crows. And I wish I was pretty without make up, but I sold my soul and became demoralized. 
 My ex boyfriend split his wrist one day and blamed me, and I guess that is sort of cringeworthy. Tell me you’re okay. I like to call this counting crows. And you really can’t call me pretty because once, I loved someone and they called me pretty, but now he says I’m not the same- He said I’m glass, but I always thought I was marrow. I like to call this counting crows. And I keep throwing up water and candy and syllables, but you won’t like me once you reach the smell, And I’ve been empty for a long time,
but eating and eating and eating will only make you nauseated. There is a pit in my stomach filled with sand. I like to call this counting crows. And I didn’t expect to meet you here, but there you are smiling at me with top and bottom marbles that I’d love to play with someday. And here I am rubbing my knees trying to stand up without looking as feeble as I feel- 
I remember little things. Princess Diana died on my birthday. It takes one man to change a light bulb and a woman to light it. What the fuck was the punchline? I really want to sleep. My best friend keeps making plans. I want to kiss you shoulders. Please lock the door”
