-

I would call you a friend
but friends don't claw
at the back of your eyes
while you're asleep.

Well

I think I ******* hate you tonight
and I can't tell if it makes my blood boil
or run cold
but I know that you will regret
and I would laugh and say
"I told you so"
but I am not a ******* child
nor are you
and we both know better than to believe
that you ever ******* loved
me.
(b.r.o.)

you liar

Every Night

Before I fall asleep, my chest burns
like I've swallowed a lit cigarette

and if you aren't there to smother it,
I wake up coughing smoke
into my hands.
(b.r.o.)

I Wrote This When You Still Loved Me

I believe in early morning honesty
and the excuses you make
for why you're never asleep
when the air feels suspended
in your bedroom
like cold,
damp clouds from the ceiling
I will be there
wiping it clean
for you.
(b.r.o.)
