coffee shop dates

a chance encounter with a friend or four

to tell you the truth --

-- you're only scared, aren't you?

you didn't think you could have?

what all the pretty people

have?

*

you should unapologize

maybe it was only normal to

hate finishing in second place.

maybe it was only normal to

hate making three promises.

maybe it was only normal to

want some of

what all the pretty people

have.

**

here,

you can have an ounce of pity.

the city never was a good place

to feel lonely. i feel bad for you.

finally leaving?

it took you long enough to realize

you should have never happened

in the first (second) place.

you make me so tired. of wanting

what all the pretty people

have:

***

because you were never pretty

were you? no,

i'm fucking beautiful

(bitch).
