My bra is the milkshake that brings men to my playground It gives me the cleavage that makes them feel like theyβre in love Theyβll claim it’s my words or my eyes they’re in love with , but letβs not kid ourselves Itβs really my majestic breasts that pop out with their own personalities they fuel their many exotic and erotic fantasies
The moon follows me on my drive home after open mic I try to take this as a good omen because lately I hold on to the darkness within let it fill me up until I ease into insanity gotta grasp at anything that looks like light otherwise my descent into madness never stops
heartbreak brings up raging hello kitty energy…hahaha
My love data tells me I shouldnβt try again because every time I crash and burn and cause trauma and drama because every time it ends, I get hateful and want revenge and While I do appreciate the poetry that comes after every broken relationship I donβt think I can withstand the heartbreak and devastation the next time it ends
