My hands weren’t sweating when I said it.                     I will never write a love song. It never seemed like anyone could see past the pink                 swirly                        fogging their eyes.    How pathetic. But cheerios get soggy when I look away this long and I wrote my first melody because of your swirly eyes.    *They’re so much darker,                  like rotted leaves.* And second,                 third, (voice cracking, echoing)       my fingertips are splitting over these strings. Fourth- palpating vibrations killing the me I’d thought furthest through. I swear, I wont crack as hard this time, but- I can’t tie my shoelaces without tearing flower petals, so I walk around stumbling, falling into pretty girls.

All these stupid love songs--
My hands weren’t sweating when I said it.                     I will never write a love song. It never seemed like anyone could see past the pink                 swirly                        fogging their eyes.    How pathetic. But cheerios get soggy when I look away this long and I wrote my first melody because of your swirly eyes.    *They’re so much darker,                  like rotted leaves.* And second,                 third, (voice cracking, echoing)       my fingertips are splitting over these strings. Fourth- palpating vibrations killing the me I’d thought furthest through. I swear, I wont crack as hard this time, but- I can’t tie my shoelaces without tearing flower petals, so I walk around stumbling, falling into pretty girls.
