twelve years younger


i asked how he was

to the scruff and low bottom lip

but I didn’t care how you are

Of Course, You’re An Out Of Control Pisces.

im not a pisces

i am nothing you say i am

i can not mold to be

who you want me to be

i am not conditioned

like a little girl

i am not twelve

i am twelve years younger than you

twelve years younger

than who you say you are

i am seventeen

so much left to learn

so many more dangerous men

with scruff and low bottom lips

no escape

trapped in trust

stuck in your car

stuck in my sexuality

stuck in my mind

when one car door opens

the rest of them close

never asked for that kiss

you never asked

assuming makes an ass out of just me

Are You Uncomfortable?

What’s To Come Of This?

What Are We?

I Feel Like I’ve Known You Forever.

i think youre a pedophile

you laugh

You’re Not Really Seventeen.

you kiss me

a kiss

can mean so much

and so little

I’m Not Leaving Without Your Number.

my number

is zero

i am zero

this is not love

this is not love

this is not love
