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)
