Figments

I must be the saddest girl to ever wear pigtails and pink ray bans.
I want to paint zebra black stripes on the walls.
Being with you is like being at summer camp.
We build forts in our bed late at night.
Tell me a ghost story.
Write your name on every piece of blank paper you find.
Fold them up
and put them in bottles.
Cover me in warm
because it's so cold out now.
I die after every party.
Close my eyes
count to three
and take the picture.
Silent tears swirl
with black eyeliner
hush, now.
Rain makes my whole body ache
reminders of damage done years ago.
Don't go.
I see you're falling into sleep.
I'll lie on the couch
until my body turns to concrete.
you can't fix me because I'm not broken.
Take another shot.
Take another shot.
Take another fucking shot.
You must have bad aim.
Are you awake yet?
Notice me.
I'm the saddest girl to ever wear pigtails and pink ray bans.
