I wanted to say you were beautiful

but that’s what creeps say.



I noticed dogs bark the loudest

behind their master’s fences.



I wanted to love you in person

but it’s easier when you’re away.



I did a swell job at

poisoning the well didn’t I?



I guess blood pacts

are my addiction, especially the flimsy ones.



I tried to conjure the greats
with shadow puppets on my wall.



I’m greedily repentant

I’m hungry, hungry and sorry.
