Laced up

Tongues out

Wrong size

Too loud

You said “talk to me”

I just tied you tighter

You want sweet romance

I want cheap eyeliner

You want perfect dates

I want busted buses

You want pretty hearts

I want scuffed-up crushes

Converse

You’re my worst best friend I deserve

Trip on you then you make it hurt

This is my dumb dumb

Anti-love verse

Converse

You write poetry

On your little phone

I write on my shoes

“Leave me alone”

You want couple pics

I want sticky floors

You want fairy tales

I want exit doors

Converse

You call that love

I call it work

You say “forever

” I say “it’s cursed”

This is my dumb dumb

Anti-love verse

Converse

Don’t say soulmate

Say sale rack

Don’t say “hold me”

Say “I’m going back”

Don’t say “baby”

Say “I’m worse”

Kiss my

Left

Right

Left

Right

Converse

Stomp my heart then steal my shirt

Laugh it off

Make the chaos first

This is my dumb dumb
