Acid from your blowhole
Stains my velvet pillow
Every time you open your mouth.
I can smell it as I'm sleeping—
Asleep to your questions—
Asking me how much I love you.
So I squish my fingers together
So that I ooze out small drips of satisfaction—
Someone else's satisfaction.
It's the sandpaper on your tongue
That tastes like forgetfulness
That has smoothed my diligence
Down into complacentness.
Maybe yesterday wasn't as lonely
As tomorrow's shaping up to be.....
Or maybe yesterday and tomorrow are both giggling at me
Behind my back...
Because I'm stuck here
With you.

I always seem to take things to my own understanding and relate to it the best I can,and with this I feel like I know what you're saying.But I'm almost sure I relate completely differently. I don't feel neglected so much...but I feel so lonely,but who am I stuck with? ME. I'm stuck with the one person who challenges me the most,my worst critic,my worst friend and my best friend at the same time.I'm stuck being lonely for now,and I'm stuck with me.I thought yesterday was terrible..but then I met today,and though I can only take one day at a time and make it as best I can,I'm afraid of tomorrow.
Anyhow,I'm done embarassing myself. Keep writing.
