You only come when you're called
Have you noticed?
You burn hot like a poison cheetoh when you hear your name
Or if you catch a sideways glance
a whisper
a subtle gesture
a word
that’s when you’re at your best
You come running
with "pick me" energy
and all the ear candy a girl can stand
nothing is off limits
everything is good
Oh boi
it pricked once -
watching you choose others
heavy with excuses
You loved me so and forever.
You said.
So why is it
you needed a golden engraved invitation,
sirens and trumpets and fanfare,
To express this love?
Crickets sang me to sleep every night
unless I sleptwalked into your DMs.
(Aren’t you even a little embarassed? I know I am.)
Go on and bury that bone in whatever yard is furthest from mine.
You tell on yourself so much that I grow old now, boi.
Lately, I sip tea on the porch and predict your fate.
You’ll be fine. That's the annoying part.
Old dogs don’t learn new tricks.
But, my dear,
bitches bite.
