there should be two weeks notices for breakups so you can have enough time to buy drugs

The deliciously foul, brown liquids and
swirly tubes, filled with sweet choking fumes of
not thinking it, have been depleted.

Without the two biggest
guns in the arsenal
how can i protect
from the battering
rams of solitude,
aiming their butts at me.

I try in pitiful banality,
to hide beneath my sheets.
The cold of the ice
sculpture statue, nice
woman shadow. It
is under the sheets.
with me. I can not hide
from something in the
misshapen, oddly
crossed paths of the
neurons or whatever
makes my brain tick in
it's eccentric, yet
I hope is slightly
charming, kind of helix.

Couldn't you have at least
cheated on me, so I
could melt the ice with the
fire of my all to quick
to surface anger? heh.

Then I could listen
to shitty emo.
Bask in my over-
reacted, affluent,
teenage, (although I
guess I'm, getting a
little too old for
that shit) angst.

I know, as well as anybody else
who read this, faux-cathartic piece of shit.
I should just deal with it. summer romance
or whatever, at least I braced for it.

choose what voice you're going to tell this poem in, and it will be much better. right now its between a self-mocking, conversational style, and a wordy, high-poetry style. knawmean?

and im really sorry about everything. if you wanna come chill with the homegirls (me and cara), if it would make you feel better. loooove.
