at the time a polaroid was a mark of friendship
so we decided to go raid a photobooth
but the pictures never captured
they didn't get the time to
because across the street was a fancy new camera shop
with a fancy new cashier
who had pretty, pretty hair
and could actually fit into a polaroid with you
and i was surrounded by the walls of a madhouse
from inside the photobooth
because you entangled the curtain entrance
so i was locked in
i wanted to see nothing
so i stared directly into the camera lenses
hoping the flash would blind me
because apparently you're blinded and happy
but i hit the wrong button
and the flash never came
but there were pictures printed
just of your hands around her waist
i took about 50 copies
and taped them to the lampposts lining abandoned cemeteries
i tossed the receipt into the lake,
i scattered the letters of your name into the rain

it seems i am the only person who does not have a polaroid in my wallet
forgive me for this whole day i have been trying to get rid of this suffocating heartache and it's not working out AT ALL
does anyone have any less violent ways
