i was never good at

l i s t e n i n g

and you said "you can't touch me, you can't
touch me like that"

i am broken and forgiven and all that's left is a
waste of time,

yours or mine

i can't tell.

and disregard my lack of manners
putting out cigarettes in empty cans
and spitting in your direction

love doesn't live here

even though
you caught a glimpse that time
that
one
time

i don't know what i was thinking
only feeling a little less
enthused
to
be
here

a little more used up
& a way we go

..."you were never good at
l i s t e n i n g"

well hell, i told you so.
