so many interesting people walk in and out of our lives. its a struggle to let them in, and an acquired skill to let them go.

nor will you.

im trying to develop impulse control; it's failing me.

they's fake. i'm fake. we's all fake.

we could just trace over it with a sharpie every morning when we get up

...and lie.

tough as nails is failing you

scattered loose leaf
cant be the only evidence
that i'm unraveling...

boxes and buttons
are all that linger
as a reminder.

smoky sheets and loaded breath
are far from ideal

.this is me letting you go.

happy birthday to you...
