I’m just so attracted to you I don’t know what to do so I guess I’ll die in a lightening strike I try to balance it in my head I hope it'll all make sense when I’m dead I’ve been taking meticulous notes while analyzing my own poems and I think I’m getting kind of close every time I try to write your name I draw a picture of a crane then I crumple the page and throw it away I try to balance it in my head I hope it'll all make sense when I’m dead I think I’m going kind of crazy I think I need to get therapy I can write in third-person for a little bit of company but he doesn’t return my calls anymore

“oh.. i had something to tell you but i forgot what it was you get me kind of nervous” there was a neon sign in the shape of a camel wearing sunglasses so I knew to take it easy outside we traded life advice i said "well you should date me" that was my best advice it usually is oh it might have been a bit brash a risk with a reward thats right, a risk with a reward cause i guess… i guess that i guessed right now have i ever… have i ever not guessed right? actually I have let me tell ya about it hehe oh the last time that i saw ya we went to a movie and i told you that you moved me when you said that you weren’t available I probably said me too then i went home and spent the whole weekend alone i guess i guess i’m not always right youll never hear me say that sentence again

always I wanted to be the one to balance my life with a cat but that was another thing to think of and I didn't want to do that what you lack in grace you make up in spades for knowing when to turn your back and when you are gone for several days I'm reminded that you're not my cat but it's not about ownership, no it's not it's more about the give and take so i give you love and you take it away and you give me reason to wake I give you love and you take it away and you give me reason to wake

i dont know where i first learned this fact but if you stare into my eyes you’ll fall in love fall in love it takes a couple minutes for sure but how much time do you have to kill with me kill with me i’m not claiming that i’m someone special except that I have a 401k I just figured out what that means I think I'm barely my own age that's right I'm barely my own age I don’t calculate it that way but I swear I only sometimes have fits like this just punch me with your fist make sure not to miss it’s a problem if you don’t want to be with somebody who talks so much about himself i got low self esteem and i have no friends and i spend most of my time thinking about the past what’s the deal with that? okay whoops!

she always questioned the things i said as elaborate nonfiction but whats the difference in truth and lie except a clever use of diction i’m protagonist she’s the subject if it’s not workshop-able then it’s a reject is it wrong to be the unreliable narrator? is it wrong to write the scene like you’re the only one who cares for her? is it true what you did? oh i guess i might have indulged that bit is it wrong to be the unreliable narrator? she said he said that i said what she said but i didnt say that, i didnt say that because i said something else instead i never lack a well-written comeback ‘cause if you give me a few days I know just what to say is it wrong to be the unreliable narrator? is it wrong to write the scene like you’re the only one who cares for her? is it true what you did? oh i guess i might have indulged that bit is it wrong to be the unreliable narrator? ooooooo ooo oooo oo oo is it wrong is it wrong is it wrong to tell a lie (yes) if it’s fictionalized if it’s fictionalized is it wrong to tell a lie (probably)
