You are everything I ever wanted.
The circles turn green, purple, then blue.
I am spotted.
But that’s not what hurts.
The barks turn to, You did it!
I didn’t!
F*** you! You deserve it!
When I’m yelling, I’m sorry!
I love you! It hurts! Stop!
you sit, stare, and lie
like I’m supposed to believe it.
And I do.
I love you, baby. I’m sorry.
Make-up and sweaters.
Those barks turn to
sweet, soft music.
I lay on your chest.
It’s wet from my pain.
Your lips touch mine and…
You are everything I ever wanted.
Stupid I am.
No! In love.
I’m just in love.
