i never really understood why you smiled at me that way from the frosty shoulder to the halved heart, i assumed you were sick in a way i could understand wasn’t aware of what i was looking for when i showed you my papers, my precious bitten bitterness. you said it sounded nice but really i’m hardly a “genius with language” don’t know why i dreamt of abandoned movie theaters. we’d tear the chairs and make forts, protecting ourselves from a vast emptiness but really i just felt trapped over again a valentine’s machine. you wrote to me, “you looked just lovely” was it hard to understand that for once i just wanted to be ugly?
