Skinny blue jeans

by caroline-ward

You said you liked My skinny blue jeans Which I took to mean You really liked me, Because I like you Early in the morning With your hair messed up And it's so fucked up Because I dreamt I was good enough But I'll never be good enough For you. And you laughed at The love letters Thought you could do better, Dismiss the girls that we meet On the glistening streets Who fawn and paw over you- I know how they feel Because I feel it too. I'm sorry if I bore you But I really adore you Because you were so nice to me Once upon a time. I like your smile And your old blue fleece I once felt complete But now I struggle To feel anything at all. I can't pretend That I'm more than a friend Because reality grounds you Shows the world in it's true hue Like the ending of tragic tv. Because you never liked My skinny blue jeans And you certainly Definitely, in all honesty Never liked me.
