I was a tangled earpiece cable.
When we first met, she’d always said “the morning’s better nowadays because it started with you”.
But she grew tired of untangling cables every morning.
She started to point out how much of a mess I am.
I’m confused.
I thought she had liked the puzzle that I am.
Turns out she expected me to stop being such a work.
To iron myself out.
To stop ******* up.
To look in the mirror every morning
And try my hardest to picture someone else.
