what if i wasn't made for this after all.
maybe this can only catch my attention for so many hours. maybe you can only catch me for so many years.
i am out of this. i feel everytime we're together there's a countdown. maybe i can truly have him for so many minutes.
i suck and i swallow, then i feel lonely and tired, like my head is in a haze.
i am sixteen and my boyfriend plays Rocket League on his big computer. he comments along and i sit bored on his bed. i dream of leaving and having a place of my own, to make myself coffee and sit in the kitchen.
i am nineteen years old and i am away. the island is grey and wet and the people's houses are all empty. i am cold and dream of homecoming. i dream of his tiny place and of his tiny arms to hold me.
i am twenty years old and my boyfriend logs onto his computer for hours on end to research rare live recordings of San Fransisco rock bands in the sixties. i am no longer a sixties fan or a sixties princess. i sit bored in his tiny bed, i have no room to move, and i fantasize about a place.
