will angrily gluing
cardboard to cardboard solve your trauma?
or will you always and forever be frightened of sedans?
god's perpetually fucking with the best made plans
but he could throw a little sympathy your way
i have to say
that you've handled this wreck
better than i've handled indirect rejection
what does that say about your character?
or rather what does it say about mine?
i digress, i'm doing fine,
but i'm impressed by your ability to keep calm and carry on
and i wanna know your favourite song
so i can play it for you
loudly in my kitchen
you may not hear it,
but i think that it's the thought that counts
and i will tell you all the parts you're missing
if you listen hard enough you might hear something
to confirm you're not losing your mind
just a little bit of supermarket white noise
and you'll be fine
what the hell kind of difference does another fight
with your mother make?
so much for the language of love
you make it sound like the language of hate
and i think it's great that you don't get too attached
shave your head and feel your hair slip through your fingers
it's amazing that you're totally unfazed
by the time you almost dies
maybe even when you were flying through the air
you knew that you'd survive
or maybe you were just unconscious
either way it's been five years
here's to you and all your brutal honesty
i know that he appears to be
doing absolutely fine
but that pretty boy you cared about so much
you destroyed him, i think that it's time
for me to teach you basic empathy
and in return you can teach me how to repress all my obsessive tendencies
is this an ending or will this be the end of me?
will this be the end of me?

i wanna build a house
where you can come and live with me
and maybe get acclimatized
to my obsessive personality
and you'd want me to love you
the way that i've convinced myself that i already do
and you'd keep on being good
and i would keep on trying to do the very best i could
and we'd collaborate creatively
and every day you'd say to me
"your skin looks fantastic,
how do you do it?"
but you're never gonna look at me that way

i can't help
but think of everything this could've been if i were not the queen of
self sabotage and
chemical fear
oh please, god, get me out of here
I didn't think that it was possible to get lost in a 12 by 12 foot space
but i don't recognize this person
i don't recognize this
place
zolift me up
zolofty if i fell i could break my spine
but so long as i don't fall any further i'll be fine
i feel twisted like a varicose vein
and i can't tell if i'm just nervous or i'm clinically insane
oh, doctor, won't you tell me
if i'm fine or if i'm ill?
how much suffering justifies a pill?
will it make me more articulate,
will it make me fill stiller when i'm scared?
because right now i'm not too stoic
and all it's done is made me
tired
zolift me up
zolofty if i fell i could break my spine
but so long as i don't fall any further i'll be fine

stop me if you've heard this one before
but i think you're pretty great
and i'd love if we could be a little more than friends
no matter how this conversation ends
i want you in my life
whatever you decide is fine
i'm sorry if i was a little out of line
no i'm not upset
i had nothing to expect
thank you for being so kind to me

i'm sorry if i came on a little
bit too strong when i
crashed your older brother's birthday party
the first time that we met
i bet you'd
think i was crazy if you
knew that i still think about you
when i can't fall asleep at night
you're the epitome of my type and i like it
i'm a little bit in love with the way that you look in the sunlight
and i'd love to see you moonlit
but i have to remind myself
this isn't it
i'm sitting in a hospital waiting room
chuggng breeza and thinking about how far apart your eyes are
and how much i think about how far apart your eyes are
and i don't know why i'm like this
but i do know that this scan will be useless
because all it'll be is pictures of your face
i have to remember that you're easily replaceable in my head
this one might just take a little bit longer
than the other ones did
but i have to remind myself
this isn't it
