I can’t decide if
Everyone was right
About us being crazy
Or if we really
Loved each other
I sometimes remember that first night with you
Things were good for just me and you

Boys don’t ride on horses
Or speak carefully
Boys break bones
And they
Bellow with rage
Guttural scream
Boys are not gentle
They do not smell
Of cream

I can tell you that,
the thought of getting to know someone
right now,
feels like one too many marathons I’ve ran, it’s hot and I’m tired.
I want to go home.
And
I don’t want to know who you are.

There is a boy, he eats my words up, and he takes my time, he holds it hostage. He’s a beast. He’s a man. A boy. He eats me, and I am only glad that I, I could make him full.

If you were my girlfriend
I would have treated you better
That’s what he said
It’s a good thing I’m not
And we just live together
And sleep together
And eat dinner together

I told myself
I won’t fall in love
Until someone buys me flowers
But then I kissed him
Without so much as even
One single rose
And him?
His eyes wander so far
It’s hard to tell
Which skirt he’s trying to
Slip up
But it’s not yours
And it’s right in front of you
All without even a single
Flower

Because I’ll never get to do
Anything I want
In this life
I need to know
There will be a new one
Just have to make it through this one
Make it through this one
Make it through this one
And then maybe if I have bled enough
And maybe if I cried
And I sweat enough
And I’m alone enough
Maybe this new one will be
Better
Just have to
Make it through this one

Please god
Tell me
Is reincarnation real
