living with you.

i stay up hours after you

so i don’t have to listen to you breathe

very long

after i lay down

 

i’m frustrated

with you

and the way you move your mouth

and

your skin, your crawling flesh

one-track mountain-fucking mind

 

i stay up late and listen

listen to the coyotes howl in the distance

and i realize i love it here

and i realize i hate it here

 

you stained my room

with your scent of ***** clothes

and you’ll be leaving soon

 

and all I’ll have left is

the smell if filthy socks

 

and you don’t care anymore.
