Mastodon Dentist – Issue 13
ex
I saw your updated photo on facebook
you're looking older
more like your mom
once we promised each other forever
maybe the lesson was
not to make promises
that you can't keep
I’ve still got the scars where your tears ate into my flesh
have you still got the box of bruises i mailed you?
I check your photo on facebook every once in a while
I see you're single and looking for random play
I’m doing my best to be like the Buddha
but the truth is
I never want you to be happy without me
I never want you to have a life without me
I've thought a lot lately about murder hate and suicide
but I enjoy playing pool
it's what keeps me alive
I don't remember to pray all that often
but everytime I do
I mention your name
to the big guy
and he smiles
I think you remind him of his favorite angel, the devil,
the one that snuck out of heaven
to go live in that place where they serve tequila 24 hours a day
I've stopped drinking booze by the way
and I've put on some weight
you wouldn't recognize me
did you ever even see me sober?
I saw your updated photo on facebook
there was a time I thought I knew you
but knowing is a temporary thing
much like forever
nonetheless
I want you to know
that my heart's gone to the place
where bruises go when they heal
but I’ve still got the scars
where your kisses stained my skin
