My dryer recently broke out of the blue Just stopped heating up But I understood my dryers pain on such a deep personal level we bonded from that moment on Except I didn’t break out of the blue I stopped heating up after you started to let other versions of you slip out I stopped admiring how the light reflected off your once so utterly perfect face, I stopped sitting so close to you Hugging you back I stopped thinking you were the best thing I’ve ever seen and I started understanding every time I said it I meant it “I love you more” Really everything I did once upon a time Almost made my stomach turn now Like a dog in the night You wait for me Like a broken dryer I shake and rattle But at least I don’t text other women
