friendshipwreck
who ever wrote my destiny must have been having a shitty week,
because beyond acquaintances these friendships have been bleak.
have a party on a saturday,
all of the town gathers in the bowling alley.
i’m prayin you just happened to forget to invite me.
don’t you dare place me somewhere i didn’t choose to be.
i don’t want to be this decided taste on your lips.
i wave at you and you stare at me like a total fucking eclipse.
like the sight of me could make your eyes glaze over themselves.
i’ve boxed you up with the photos on the shelves.

on the dreamer’s cusp of a nightmare,
a bullet is frozen in the air.
///////////////////////////
truth or dare like a prying crowbar,
you snake around the subject of the scars.
//////////////////////////
the stall stole my dignity and progress,
begged a broken pencil for nothing less.
