Coming/said out

Loud(ish)

By 5enxPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

I give up.

It’s not love anymore.

Attention from the front feels good most of the time.

I thought you knew that

You don’t actually know shit

But her conviction and my disappointment

Gender choices never be choosing me

Maybe I think sexually from the back…idea wise

I suck at repetition

You fail at honesty

Why can’t you pay for dinner without the stories

I can read what’s written in you: never added up

Federal offenses ain’t the only reason you’re bad on paper

You don’t look good in photos either

Or smell good after the water was left holy

Shouldn’t say any of it but fuck it ; I just did.
