I can compartmentalize

my heart

Throw my emotions in the glovebox

Along with the spare drive thru napkins

I can resign

When the check engine light comes on

I pump the breaks

Knowing,

I fired on all cyclinders

Emotionally drained

until, I have nothing left to give

Don’t worry-

in terrible weather, my intuition is like a ABS system

I DO NOT

need a OBD 2 scanner to diagnose

The code for you,

being hot and cold.

Even when I run on fumes,

at the risk of my car,

combusting,

nay explode

I will limp my heart,

And car home-

Before, I ever let anyone tell me

I don’t know what I want”

This type of guy is a no go!
