Anxiety glows in the dark The nightlight you can’t turn off Bioluminescence highlighting the worry lines on your face I’ve been saying things outloud recently to try and help me deal with stuff, y'know stuff like she’ll never love you stuff like you have an anxiety disorder you broken piece of **** i dont know that its helping she remains the gum stuck to the underside of my tabletop mind grows stale while I endlessly chew over her memories my jaw grows sore – tastes bitter and salty, like tears in your morning coffee and that would be a terrible flavor for gum its like cry driveways because you told yourself you deserve to be happy and your mind couldn't ******* handle it couldn't process that instead the logic leaks out your eyes and disperses in every throaty gag of misplaced regret my eyes need windshield wipers and my windshield wipers need to be replaced. the new ones are in the backseat but its been so cold i haven't gotten around to it. It’s bad form to show emotions at work Instead you write ****** poetry, one arm covering your paper like a 4th grader who doesn’t want anyone to steal his test answers where am i going with this? is this just a venting poem? a poem to feed the seed of depression born out of our sapling romance? I need a 2 drop spell, tap 1 and a blue Counter target emotion That was a magic the gathering reference but I don’t expect you to get it. im rambling now - scrambling thoughts of her cascading down my interior monologue blink and her face has been burned into the nightlit darkness that waits behind my eyelids. she can join the rest of the crew there, like a ****** up breakfast club of regrets that comes to shake hands every morning i've never seen that movie but hey, at least it’s a reference you'll probably get ugh. This got sad fast. I’m sorry. I didn’t get much sleep last night. i couldn’t turn off my nightlight.
