1.

I’d be your anything, any way, 

Take me to see your friends play shitty covers.

I wish you sang to me more

Wish you didn’t show up late

Wish you pretended to care a little

Wish I pretended to care a little less

I thought you had Potential

But it was just another crash course in

“Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”

2.

Horror stories have nothing on you,

You’re a victim, always, 

Never do anything wrong.

“Wait, I’m goated.”

You can’t come near my home.

Your drunken breath on the phone begging

“$300 to come back?”

No, I won’t

No, I will

No, I shouldn’t.

3.

You were too good to be true,

Still, to this day

I think of you when I see fudge

Pickles and vodka.

I was scared of being seen,

Still, to this day

I hope you don’t think of me

When you see crusty white dogs

And crustier white sedans.

4.

I don’t know if love is something

I can feel in me.

I can feel love in you,

We hug and it’s between us

The world isn’t there

I would be stupid not to do this.

You’re everything I’ve ever wanted,

Ever dreamt of

Yet this is a horror video game

Where is the jumpscare?

5.

Did you ever laugh about it?

Spoke to him about me

About us, whatever us was

I hope your baby is healthy.

I’m glad to see you online

You look healthy, happy

I hope it’s all true.
