Dog Problems

Don’t you dare
Speak for someone you don’t know
They’ll feel it in the back of their throat
We know I cant construct a poem
‘Cause words like girls get bored and run
C’est la vie
I say “I’ve got so many better things”
I’ve got nothing
You should see me
I smoke myself to sleep
and blame postmodern things I can’t relate
Like summer camp and coastal states
Like alcohol and coffee beans
Dance floors and magazines
I think its safe to say I’ve only got
myself to blame
But boys in swooping haircuts
are bringing me down
Taking pictures of themselves
And so I walk the web in search of love
but always seem to end up stuck
I’m finding flaws in everyone
I’ve reached the point where all I want
is to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up
We are parallel lines
We’re running in circles
We’re never meant to cross
I’m at a loss
You were my tangerine
My ********, my trampoline
Now all’s I get are wincing cheeks
and dog problems
I signed a lease
Thinking my heart belonged
at 93rd and Park
Instead I broke a girls heart
and flew back to Phoenix
to finish the year as it started
Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
This is the sound of my heart breaking
And I hope it’s entertaining
Cause for me
it’s a *****
Was it worth it?
When you slept with him?
Did you get it all out of your system?
I am a man
Holding it all
I couldn’t breathe
Coming across
I didn’t know
I couldn’t get up
B is for believing you’d always be here for me
E is for everything, even when we’d see it though
C, C is for seeing through you, you are a fake, which brings me to
A because, because, you always run away
I never finish phrases I misspell
An open arm’s a prison cell
When I said, “I hate what I’ve become”
I lied, I hated who I was
So when you start to wonder
about the pain in my throat
Well don’t you ever, no never, ever
Speak for someone
You don’t know
