930

I like what she doesn’t give
all the pleasantries
my old friends wanted
from love

I thought they were fools
chasing magazine gossip
cinema reel love
and
well
they just wanted a fuck

I don’t need a hole
to lift me up
or drag me down

maybe that’s why
she says I’m so bad
at relationships

I don’t want a damn thing
except to be pushed away
to receive letters of hate
from an address that used
to send letters that smelled
like her perfume

I wonder if she picks up
which parts I’m lying about
