your fingers weren't made to run through my hair

by Ava Blu


it isn’t that cold here,
not compared to everywhere else,
but i wear my gloves
and button my coat uptohere.

it was dreary here for so long,
longer than normal,
but the sun is showing;

this is more than i can say for you.

my bangs have grown longer
than i believe;
you still tug at them and ask
if they’re real.

contacts were for the occasional “going outs”
i did,
and now my glasses have become the
“alwaysonmakemefeelbetterstayinghome”
(i wear them out).

i’ve just decided to cut my hair
(i figured you’d want to know)

you can keep what’s left.
