Bad
I’ve been asking myself
all weekend
if I’m a bad person,
and I think the answer
is yes.

I peeked around the corner
to see if the bartender
was there and we made
eye contact so I
blurted out,
I’ll have another.

I probably shouldn’t
have another
because it’s 6:30 pm
on a Tuesday
that went completely
wrong.

Now I have to decide
if being completely
alone
is better than
being “in love”
with someone who
doesn’t see me
in their future.

I keep thinking that
maybe I can change
my mindset.
Be okay with a weekend
boyfriend,
just a guy that I care
about but not that much.
But I keep proving
to myself that
I can’t change.

I want someone
who wants me there.

He made it clear
that he intends to
set down roots
in a place that
is barely enough
for one,
let alone two.
I noticed he avoided words
like “we” when talking
about the future
and I realized that I
still don’t fit in.

I feel everything
intensely
so right now
my heart aches
but I have butterflies.
I can’t stop
thinking about his
big blue eyes and the way his
body feels against mine.
He even smells like safety.
We just spent the night
all over each other
but I’m seeing him again later.
We’ve only grown closer
and stronger over the
last year,
and definitely so in love.

Pretend to be
clueless and bat those
blues,
meanwhile he’s
practically panting.

Hey girl
Keep it secret.
Keep it put away
underneath the dish towels
in the bathroom,
On the the shelf.

Shh quiet.
Okay.
Go ahead

I remember my dad
told me that if I’m
going to drink and drive
I should throw
the empty out the window.

It’s the only time he’s okay
with littering.
