i promised you i wouldnt do this to you and i did. i wait through crying. i watch you as your knees kiss my carpet ever so softly and i wait for the deafening sound of your hands against my ears to stop making them ring and i wait for a break in your tears to mutter a backbitten apology before everything goes silent again. through all of this my ghost remains sanguine and he kisses my carcass with wanting and i think of how i could never regret this, not even if you lost your ****** job in the projects and not even when you stop going to school or stop pretending like you mean something to the world and i think of his perfect smile and the way his hair falls into his eyes when he ***** me and i will never regret hurting you. i promised you i wouldnt do this to you but i did. i never meant to hurt you but i will do it again.
