Please excuse these next few lines
If you're someone who makes me smile

Nosebleed of nostalgia
Bleeds like
Skin on skin
Contact
Impact
Train wreck
An emotional middle name
They'll quote in my eulogy
Where everyone who has
Never known
My favorite song
Will go
Because they think
I
Liked
Pink

And the whole reason
I gave you that
Gift is so you'd use it
And break it
And laugh
Because you will never
Deserve
To
Cry

And please tell me
When you're crying
So that I can
Cry for you
But I've already said that
And I really need to stop
These
Reoccurring
Themes

And by the way
The entire time
I've been waiting
For you
To
Ask

But you never will,
Will you?

And you never seem
To say anything
Anymore, despite
My chat logs
And text bills
And I'm worried
But no one else
Seems to care
About your
Lack
Of
Substance

And I've got
Old dance tickets,
Dollar bills, pictures,
And super balls
I'm becoming happy
Through osmosis
And if I breathe
Deep, close my
Eyes, and hum the
Songs I remember
I can
Pretend
It's
Working
