"i'm sleeping with myself tonight"
by Olivia Weinkeini throw myself into all of your darker
places. i never could get anything right.
i pound on you with words rather than fists
because i'm too tired of mediocre breaththroughs
and breaking something of yours momentarily
was never on my extended plan agenda.
i never could do anything right and you talk
feelings and of being alone and you say you
miss me but what is it you miss, i mean really,
when i'm too drunk for any mind-tumbling tasks
and you don't care enough to ask me what i really
mean when i speak with crushed sentences
in a static broken voice silently begging for
you to understand what it is i can't say when
i choose to say i love you over and over instead. 03/02/2003 Author's Note: -title of poem from a lyric from Someone Saved My Life Tonight sung by Elton John and only because this song came on while i was writing this but somehow it fits
