Curse words. You screamed curse words on my eighth birthday and there was a mess in the backyard with bubble sap and candy wishes. Tiny sobs. I watched you leave, beautiful footsteps with your cocktail shoes and leather pants. You're crazy, fine friend. Sing me your story and kiss me in public. Hope. I was hopeful. You can pay for groceries with your words. Watch them shout. Scream. You're acid and I'm poison. We hit knuckles and crack flesh like a matchbox. You're funny.

on my eighth birthday.
Curse words. You screamed curse words on my eighth birthday and there was a mess in the backyard with bubble sap and candy wishes. Tiny sobs. I watched you leave, beautiful footsteps with your cocktail shoes and leather pants. You're crazy, fine friend. Sing me your story and kiss me in public. Hope. I was hopeful. You can pay for groceries with your words. Watch them shout. Scream. You're acid and I'm poison. We hit knuckles and crack flesh like a matchbox. You're funny.
Just a little poem I wrote in my English class the other day. Please comment feedback! <3
