A Stupid Love Poem

A Stupid Love Poem

You're everywhere
And nowhere
You live 45 hundred miles away
In a purgatory in my head

I can taste you in my licorice tea
Its taste is sweet ash and nauseating
I can hear your laugh in "The Love Cats"
Shut that filth off immediately

I won't work with any of my green stones
Or wear black leggingsĀ 
You seem to have styled my hair today
So I put it in a braid

Bloody bridge mix and wonderbars
Cat memes
Geese
And Mango

I'm angry that you're still here
I'm angry at my own disgusting sentimentality

Denial was a funner phase
Our ghosts danced and I slapped my leg
I lied to myself most creatively
Now I'm taking travel sickness pills

Taking out the trash reminds me of you
That'll sound really bad to anyone else

Hello Brittany, I enjoyed this. I felt the decay of a once precious romance just clinging on like dust that won’t go away. Some pasts can just leave toxic waste behind. I liked the last lines which sum up perfectly what it can feel like in the end.Ā 

nicely done :)

What a compelling little masterpiece, seemingly filled with equal measures of love, passion and contempt .. I am so glad I found it.
