we work because I'm not your first heartbreak goddess devastation you've been through it all before with Lisa and Lauren and Dior and many more from high school on I cannot shock you into brooding silences I cannot push you away and you will not tolerate games or breakdowns in communication the affection is there 24/7 last night I hated myself for it but told myself I'd test you if you came back to bed and touched me I'd be yours forever because sometimes it feels there is no psychic connection so you came back to bed and not only did you touch me you spoke to me and made me laugh you have no idea what a gift that was your ass was saved, boy you will never know you love me harsh and uncompromising as I am you marvel over my long black goth dress and black combat boots and wet hair as you drive me to work this Valentine's Day letting me listen to "Pretend That We're Dead" by L7 three times in a row then singing along with me to "You Better You Bet" by the Who it's hard for some people to see this as the true love fairy tale it is sometimes it's hard for me but then there are the moments of absolute clarity and I thank the charity of fate for carrying me home however tattered and shattered to you the sweetest home I've ever known. |
