it doesn't work

by Lauren Singer

look into my mouth,
i am a poor liar.
shed this winter skin
of rash repose,
i'm sorry that i told you so.
i'm sorry.

i only feel tender for you
when i don't have my clothes on.

there is no one better at describing the edgy wounds of life and love here than you, Lauren. No one.

Short, simple, yet so flippin' sharp! What is it with guys making us feel this way?
