Laundry Soap,Just Shoot Me...and You

Folder: 
Others

Happy yet somehow depressed

I returned to sleep on your couch

And watch TV with you while you curled up

In a blanket on the floor

Looking ever so slowly

Being intrigued by your long eyelashes

Wondering if it was just the beer buzz

From the ones we were kicking back

Or if the truth was inevitable

I remember how hard I laughed

When you made fun of me

For my weird habit of carrying

Laundry soap in my backpack

Sniffing it for comfort and spilling it on your carpet

I'm sure if ever,NOW you think I'm odd

Although I'm not sure why

I began to cry ever so softly

Under your sheet on the couch

Because the air conditioner made me cold

Still buzzing from the HG00

While you watched "Just Shoot Me"

2 feet away

And laughed uncontrollably,

Not aware of my tears so sad
