Warm Whiskey.

The wind makes the trees dance,

and my hair frizzy.

I wonder if you ever miss me.

The wind makes the trees dance,

and my hair frizzy,

why didn’t you ever kiss me?

The wind makes the trees dance,

and my hair frizzy,

you still burn like warm whiskey.

The wind makes the trees dance,

and my hair frizzy,

it’s all starting to hit me.

–S.

Strength.

Look at what you did.

I was just a stupid kid.

I let you hold me.

I let you grope me.

I thought it was love,

but it was just lonely.

I let you hurt me.

I let you burn me.

I thought it was love,

but I was wrong.

All along, it was making me strong.

–S.

Deadly.

I met all the ones that weren’t ready.

The ones who didn’t want to go steady.

The ones that only wanted hot and heavy.

It’s been a deadly medley,

that left me empty.

I met the ones with ego and envy.

Of those, there were plenty.

I met petty,

an assembly of fake friendly.

It’s been a deadly medley,

that left me empty.

–S.

Signed.

I chew on a lemon rind,

but it doesn’t work.

Everything I want to say to you is fucking unkind.

I love you,

but I hate you,

for being so blind.

I love you,

but I hate you,

for leaving me behind.

I love you,

but I hate you,

for hurting my pride.

I love you,

but I hate you,

I know you tried.

Signed,

–S.

Hush.

I think you owe me.

You never took the time to know me.

Never figured out just how to touch.

Always reminded me I was just too much.

I think you owe me.

Couldn’t ever make me blush.

Always in a rush.

I found my voice to tell you,

but you said baby, hush.

–S.
