sitting in an airport waiting for love
getting attention but not enough there are so many shoes between stalls like who cares where i’m going i’m sorry i fell for you that day the day was balmy before realizing i needed intimacy in every relationship you’ve always been a great friend i hope you know that i’m sure you know that you’re texting someone right now while i wait the plane pulls up to terminal c gate 28 there are a dozen books in my bag i feel the book i won’t give to you earlier i ate some kind of grilled cheese with a fork i bought a second drink i’m trying to stop drinking and save money wearing an outfit i’m ashamed of what do you think about me crowds surrounding me confident alone typing this into my phone standing on the wrong side of the counter everyone is confused i swear to whatever god you worship i’m the most |

i just want the chance to get to know you before one of us dies
these unresolved feelings will live in me forever if you die first floating teeth aloe vera tears when i hit the bong twice i know what drowning feels like i’ll probably end up with a chef or something intrinsically lonely we take care of each other undoing influence sudden impact without wanting screens and thumbs screens and thumbs touch screen touch me please if you were a band-aid i’d let you soak with shower water slow poison laughing wholeheartedly you welcome me before boarding my flight i stand in the stalls with my pants down not as immediately as the scent of men the scent of women disgusts me i haven't fucked another woman in a decade i can't help my imagination even with my hands you have to get used to your old voice as the current representation of self delay is inevitable desire i’m at ease acting like i don’t know turbulence my fate i think |
