I've been walking around
and biting off more than
and letting my nails grow
because I keep swaying to a wind that isn't there

I bought you lunch
because you said I owe more than any are capable of

you used your napkin with an ease that has never graced
me

(yet I felt awkward taking the check)

you want me independent,
a tad ignorant,

and 200 feet away at all times

but I'm moving into your apartment complex
and you explain the concept of friends with benefits
as if it's just another item on the menu

I'm supposed to handle everything you throw
but I can't seem to stay away from your bed

seducing inner thighs,
caressing shoulder blades,

this can only disintegrate in one direction

nails in back,
face down and under attack;

no one else will buy
your pawn-shop love.
