Boys don't cry and neither do I. I saw that movie about love sickness, but instead of tears I choked on the word "love." I'd never seen "love" used that way. Caught in my throat, it kept me gasping for breath, gasping for you.
cry
Crying /
Onions make me cry for reasons you will never know.
Love me like cream and sugar /
You are the cure for my blues. When I start to cry, I just pickup the phone and pretend I am talking to you. I don't hear your voice, but I can remember what it sounds like. Like a broken record, you tell me over and over that you "love me like cream and sugar."
Drunken words /
Being a little drunk romanticizes your abusive words.
You're ugly when you smile.
I'm pretty when I cry? You always liked me better with drops on my cheeks.
I'll take what I can get, because there isn't much more.
Seaweed /
Seaweed wet hair hangs in spaghetti clumps to my shoulders. They are raw, reminding me why your touch on my face makes me cry.
