We sit on the bus,
Your heart says hello to mine,
My mouth says goodbye.
We sit on the bus,
Your heart says hello to mine,
My mouth says goodbye.
You closed your eyes:
I didn’t care
you were pretending I was someone else.
I kept mine open:
and prayed to the ceiling tiles
that you wouldn’t fall in love with me;
I wondered
which of us
was really being fucked.
I used to drink it black
before you came
and stirred your sweetness in.
I never asked for this.
Now everything tastes
bitter.
