Not that deep
We don't live by metaphors: a nonet.
This was going to get deep real quick,
but we don't live by metaphors,
so lets stay on the surface.
We had something special.
You lost your damn mind.
Then, you lost me.
Sad? Sure, but
not that
deep.

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

Really appreciate this!
Bam! That gave me a good laugh. Well done!
And there it is!
So fascinating
Oh damn. The sass and the self love 👏
I loved this :)
ooof! somehow the no-metaphor approach hits even harder! (I mean, I guess it should it come ways) Great piece! 🩷
