Short Sighted

I keep forgetting to save things for myself, for tomorrow 

I use them all up today just to get to sleep

I've got some mighty expensive habits

I keep forgetting where I am

I keep cultivating an inward perspective of me

I hold it sacred and protect it at all costs

Do not burst my bubble, do not impede

I climb up the mountain one peak at a time

The view keeps getting better and better

Fresh air rushes in my nostrils and sweeps by my face

You should have re-returned while I still had a chance

Underrated, the re-return

Double back, act before you think

Act swiftly and do not doubt your moves

You did the best you could in those moments

I keep waiting for some big monumental thing to happen

But they are happening every second

They are small, and form into a whole

You better not leave me on this dirt road

You better not kick me out of the car

I'd have to hitchhike back into town

Look at me, take me in

Because it's the last time you'll see me while i still love you

Next time, you will be a stranger 

You are practiced at the art of deception

I am a mirror for you to look into

seeing only you

Love is blinding

The wrong love makes you betray yourself

Love can't hold up, it's not strong enough

Love can't wait for you

Belong entirely to you from now on

You are only fooling yourself

Like the things that you like because you like them

My lips are numb, my face hurts

My finger still wont bend, and the swelling wont go down

I should have went to the ER

I'll just sit here and daydream

I am secluded and free

I'll sit back and close my eyes and wander

The Titular Line

 Walking home with a dozen eggs and nothing else. Stops in front of a pet groomer. $15 self service full wash. He thinks that's a pretty good deal if you don't want to just do it at home. Its 7 AM and those young adults are still drinking and having a good time. They must have stayed up all night, unless they got up very early to laugh and have a good time, but that seems unlikely.   He remembers Zoe last night and how condescending she was to him. Fucking bitch, who does she think she is? He makes more money than her. He has more expensive clothes, drives a more expensive car, his house is bigger. He has more friends and closer ones too. Who the fuck does that bitch think she is condescending him? She has a rich daddy and works in a retail store for fun. She is invested in no stock and doesn't even have a credit card. Her only redeeming quality is that she's fuckable, and she wears that shit in. The entire town and the next one over has fucked her. He should text her a...

Bears

 My ex girlfriend loved bears passionately. Grizzly, black bears, pandas, you name it. Early on in our relationship she went through a bout of deep depression. She had lots of health problems, and the medications she took often triggered intense mood swings and sadness that lingered for weeks. During those times I would be there with her, doing whatever i could to ease her pain. Mostly, that meant just simply being there with her.  We went to the zoo and saw a sloth bear. The bear didn't excite her like i thought it would. She told me she only felt sad that the bear was locked away.  She loved sweet potatoes and I would make them for us to eat almost everyday when she was struggling. She never tired of them, even if they were prepared the same way over and over. But i refused to let our little feasts grow stale. Each night I would come in with a fresh bag, determined to find a new way to prepare them. That's the beauty of the potato, the sheer number of ways to produce so...
