1507

I just got tired.

Pretended I was feeling ill

just to get stoned

on the toilet

and put on her makeup.

I wanted to say sorry

you had to guess

who I was

but I’m not deep

just shallow and wide.

Tell me which shirt to wear

and play with my hair

and maybe I’ll feel

a little alive

when I’m asleep

you next to me.

I can’t get the lipstick

right and I think

about my father

drunk and talking

about some lawyer’s tits

wondering what our kid

would think

if she saw me standing

next to him.

I was an overgrown burning bush.

I just got tired.
