Based on actual events

by Jolie Jordan

He glances at me from beneath a cd cover,
and asks again. (hoping he'll get a reply this time)

"Why do you always want me to listen to songs?
we hardly ever talk."

I glance back at him from over a half-empty bottle
of vodka,

Because.
they say everything I want to say to you.

i'm guilty of making people listen to songs, and i feel bad about it for years afterwards. like i should have let them discover the songs, but i find them so beautiful that i can't help myself, but then they don't see the beauty and i feel stupid for trying. ahhahah, i need therapy.
