Wearing your roomie’s dress
Listless, asleep in bed
My bed
Fuck your better friends
Ask how your day has been
Your glance drops.
My care leaks from the loss
Coagulating clots
The contractions stopped
I won’t even talk
As we trip through the quad;
As you love me or not;
As my younger thoughts
Weigh down
Weighed down
My affections
Play out
I won’t have them
Love me, love me
Say you won’t love me
Fool me, fool me
Don’t go and fool me
What’s the make up for?
I never wanted you
More
Yeah your party’s great
It’s great all these people came
But I’ll leave
You’ll keep formality;
Laugh appropriately
As I kiss your cheek
I relieve it all:
The books stacked in the hall;
Tiny bags; Adderall;
How his empty calls
Weigh down
Outkast was written by Johnny Paglino.
