Maybe I'm not sick enough Of sad, beautiful girls. They wear misery so well. Like pouty lips, And blushy cheeks. Swollen eyes, And little mouth noises- A siren's call. **I'm a ******* ********* at heart.** It's pretty sick Of her To humor me like this. To let me be the joke. Doesn't she know That I would sabotage myself Just to hear her laugh? Just to feel wanted? Just to feel worthy? Just to make my skin feel bearable? Doesn't she know She's the movie screen I project my affections Onto? Sniveling silver. Doesn't she know She's my one chance At feeling normal? At feeling anything at all? Doesn't she know I'm tired? I don't want to wait anymore. I'm pretty sick Of myself. I need her laughter To drown out the silence. I'm so uneasy alone. Their wet eyes are interchangeable. A series of lips, Cooling cheeks. Blue mouths- And their captivating sounds. I laugh. I'm pretty foolish. She's pretty sick.
