Mostly I wish
I didn’t carry around so much hate
like it wasn’t the only thing left
after nothing else was said
like love and its cheap imitations
didn’t taste like sour milk
like it didn’t curdle in my mouth
like I didn’t have to run out
Mostly I wish
I didn’t carry around so much hate
that there was a softer place
than sour milk
and shallow friends
that I had offered something else
and you had used me less
