sunbeat / moonbeat
By Valeria •
sunbeat / to shoppers drug mart
catholic guilt and a hypothetical
but already written letter
and whatever i'd carry inside me
and whatever i would never
the time sensitive destruction of nothing more than cells and tissue the understanding of the cruel impulse of life as a bargaining chip
and more examples, and to hate to know many
of what i'd let you do to me
and how much of my life is open to disruption
but not recognition
never interpretation
and the corrosive stagnant heavy
deep black grey pain of getting to know you
and shedding layers i never knew were even gone until
i took the hit
right to the chest
and there was nothing else to cushion
and the small puddles of blood
in this never-spoken not quite love
but barely sordid
sad affair
and your pillows and my pills
and i'd rather kiss your cheek
and how much worse that really is
and the questions to the robots
and the artificial wings
and the knowledge in my gut turned lack of evidence to give
and the love waiting at home
the one bedroom of it all
and the lightness of the music behind tender painful touch
and i walk my way from work trying hard to think you not
moonbeat / to lucy dacus playing
write me poems
make me coffee
treat me like you never knew me
so i can remake your mind up
see my movies
hear my music
fight me, ramble
take me whole
pick me up from days of work
let me let you
get to know me
maybe you should know it too
what it is to become smaller
wonder who i love the most
and build a world of inside jokes
and split
the morning after pill
and tell me when you didnt cum
tell me all about your sisters
what your parents did to you
why that picture in the hallway
where the nickname could've come from
have opinions on my friends
i don't even need to know yours
i would hate to interrupt
but
ask me everything about me!
hand me things around the house!
lemme see how you chop veggies
what spices you like the most
let your questions be less thorough
let me answer
make you bored
i'll tell you the real stories
what's behind this scar, that bruise
you know i'd let you
hurt me
and i'm sure i will hurt you
but no
we aren't
ever
swapping
blood
lets be awkward at the wedding
and reception
way too drunk
tell them we tried being "friends"and it never, really, worked
