Pigeons

Days go by and roses fade, songs play, birds die eating rice at weddings

Just kidding, pigeons don’t explode in the face of true love

Just us, we die a little, 

We are the ones unloved, unbound, unkind 

You

The man who loves committing

And me 

Committed to be

It will get better 

One day I wake up

I am better

Not

After you left they pulled me open and tried to make me let them in

Like you he tried to take my pain away 

But all he did was a reminder of what you did.

how

We had 

words and empty promises and 

Another pushed me on the bed ripped off my clothes lifted my legs and tried to have me

I laughed, no

I stopped

Whiskey 

I know it was the distance that messed us up, but 

Sober

I still can’t stand us

Perfumed sake

Things going to shit before they even started

What if we disappeared 

We did

We finally did.
