“will you cut my hair”
i wrote a song that i love
with a good tune. and fun lyrics. except my voice is only worthy in the shower and my guitar is dusty in the corner. it needs new strings.
it’s like trying to cook you dinner with no hands.

the language of the internet has taught me to expect all hearts on their sides; like they’ve taken peach schnapps bubble baths and been pushed over by bigger giants than love, and they don’t stand anymore for anything.

HAIKUS FOUND ON THE (ONE) NIGHTSTAND

that I never spent the night learning exactly how much you are worth.

You're the best, and you're still my favorite poet in the whole history of the world and I love you much amounts. Thanks so much for...
