gentle reminder (!)
my baby he loves me
so he tells me (you’re a chore) to
break me open like a tidal wave and
i will always return to him to this love
this is love
and glory
despite how
he was dancing with other girls a few nights ago
told me (don’t overreact)
i fell apart instead and
i forgot how to sleep and i read somewhere that
this is how you go missing but
my baby loves me — i swear it —
he told me last night over the phone
but
i’m afraid he never knew what love was and
i’m afraid that he’s taking all of mine so
my friends told me (let him go
block his number
delete his memory) cause they saw the gun in his hand and
i dodged the bullet i
can’t outrun his shadow though so i
keep it on a leash.
