lay me down & don't give in

you whispered, cat
we would lay there with a blanket
and nothing else mattered
it's all dust 
silt on life's gleaming dashboard


you thought yourself out
with tumbling words 
shitfaced excuses
all week,
i thought about
you
you
made me feel beautiful
now i am ugly and alone
maybe you think you can find
another me
another girl who will stroke 
your smooth chest,
and make you smile when you couldn't 
dream of it
meet another girl who sends you love poems,
who writes notes to you,
another girl who loves you 
so unconditionally
who wants to make you happy
make things work. 
maybe you're right,
but i've never met a girl like that
except one

i don't know who i can talk to now

7:o4 am
what a shit time to be awake
my eyes are puffy 
cramping up
shaking hands
don't want to eat
tears filling my eyes

i can't get anything out of this yet
