It feels like togetherness, so when you smile at me, I feel alone. This unfamiliar light will burn me, I know. I can't stop staring.

We can be friends. Don't look at me. Don't smile. Don't call me by my name. Just text a weekly list of what I can do to please you.

The music at this party is way too loud. I'm leaving, but I'm afraid you won't come with. If you get a face tattoo tonight, so will I. You've never met a girl like me before.

I'll distance myself tomorrow, but tonight I want to savor your breadcrumbs. You are such a good girl. I know you'll make a good mess.
