How much free time do you have that you customized your dial tone?

Your voice sounds nicer pre recorded over the phone.

I can speak my mind and you won’t answer back.

That dreamy lake with the patch of park

You always wanted to visit

Is garbage.

It’s shallow

Like the puddle of tears

You said you’d cry for me,

Yet there are still hundreds of people

Playing happy on the shores and surface.

Water’s as dirty as the lies you terribly told

Behind my back.

Why couldn’t you use the good lies on me?

Your words were dull and pointless

Unlike the knife you stabbed into my back.

I’m worth more than that.

It smells like trouble.

It looks like smoke.

Somewhere between

Burnt black barbecue,

Busy sweat, and aerosol SPF

The lake is as hazy as our labels.

I wish we were as defined

as these tan lines.

Like tide, we had

Expectations that were too high to satisfy.

I thought it’d be alright.

You always said everything was fine.

Even though I know you lied

I kept my promise, and I completely loved you

until the day you truly died.

The sand is sharp, the water’s cold,

The tops are tank, and I’m alone.

Calling my closure

Criss cross applesauce on an ancient skateboard

I would have loved to take you here anyway.

I thought I would hate this place.

And I was right.

I’ve never wanted to look away from half naked people so fast-

Because I feel guilty.

I wouldn’t be doing anything wrong,

But my heart is committed

And my other senses are convinced

There’s no one else but you.

But there’s so many people to meet

even just out here.

The only difference between you and them

Is that they’re alive

Killing themselves with alcohol, flesh, and

Other people.

You killed people when you were here.

I roll on my own four wheels every day

Reminded that you were a hurtful person

So unworthy of sympathy.

But that’s in the past now where the sun is

Behind me.

The wind and dust is messing with my connection.

You’re breaking up.

Oh wait, we already did that.

Goodbye, Angel.

For once, you really are one.
