1 " every dream I have about kissing you ends with blood on my hands. "
― Trista Mateer , [redacted]
2 " so the poem hurt you.it was supposed to. "
3 " The poet lusts after emotionally unavailable people because she doesn't have to worry about commitment. The poet desperately wants commitment. "
4 " The poet is afraid to make any place feel too much like home because then she might have to stop running. "
5 " A BRIEF INTERLUDE It’s been three years since I’ve spent the night with someone who liked me enough to get breakfast in the morning. Still, I spread my heart thin like butter on toast, hoping someone else will come along and snatch it off my plate. Still, I stumble half-dressed out of other people’s apartments and treat myself to coffee on the way home. This is not a poem that seeks to make a spectacle of loneliness. "
6 " I know I have bigger problems than who I’m not kissing right now but three margaritas in, I wonder how safe your number is in my phone. "
