God **** You

I like to pretend I don’t have emotions

In my mind I’m better then those weak-kneed, angsty teenage girls who write about true love in their journals but have never worked up the nerve to actually talk to a boy

I enjoy my feeling of superiority

But no human is without their flaws

My flaw happens to be you

When you’re near I seek out the nearest mirror and check my reflection

Fix my hair

Straighten my shirt

I clear my throat as I try to slow down my pulse

I tell myself to breathe, slowly; inhale, then exhale.

And when our encounter is over

And we’ve gotten no closer

To the place I long to be -in your beautiful freaking arms

I walk away and daydream of our lives together

Next thing you know I’ll be scribbling your name all over my notebook.

You turn me into a cliché I never thought I’d be

God **** you and your beauty

 

…and your charming personality

 

…and your perfect smile

 

…and your witty remarks

 

Just God **** you.
