in autumn i found a boy
who asked me to cut my hair
and said I love you
only after six shots
i sipped tea and told my friends abou him
they said if you're happy and
knew i was not.
in winter i kissed a girl
who tasted like cigarettes and said
I love you all the time but
hurt herself whenever i made mistakes
she threatened to kill herself if i ever left
my friends watched me wash my hands
and did not tell me to test that.
with a boy who told me
it was his way or no way and
when i challenged that,
he told me
I love you and that's why I'm doing this
my friends saw my bruises and gripped my wrist while i said
I deserve him
in summer i wanted
no one at all
and when he walked into my life
i didnt expect
fall
but he kisses like the devil
while keeping all my demons away
my friends held my gaze and told me
keep him,stay.
