my room is too small to drink myself numb in, my heart too sober to fall drunk in love my cup stays filled with depression, my dreams poured as a chaser my love stick isn't what I lean on my way through love's wild forest — my lips are blue from my last good kiss my tongue doesn't slice the subtle lie of “i love you,” my skin hasn't felt weird letting someone in; my inner freak is quiet and reserved now my veins won’t skip a heartbeat, _untouched_ my phone doesn’t kiss my eyes liking her pics my reason to fall in love has fallen away from me, but I still kept the receipts

Love Receipts
my room is too small to drink myself numb in, my heart too sober to fall drunk in love my cup stays filled with depression, my dreams poured as a chaser my love stick isn't what I lean on my way through love's wild forest — my lips are blue from my last good kiss my tongue doesn't slice the subtle lie of “i love you,” my skin hasn't felt weird letting someone in; my inner freak is quiet and reserved now my veins won’t skip a heartbeat, _untouched_ my phone doesn’t kiss my eyes liking her pics my reason to fall in love has fallen away from me, but I still kept the receipts
