I’ll take the house fire, please

grip the leftover skin and pull, separate the tongue with doubt and bite, blood sugar in the gaps of teeth, swish with ocean brine, disrupt the despair with a careful smile, will not do anything without a drug of choice, otherwise four blank walls anticipating a house fire.

codependency and love and trauma and ultimatums and tropes and sex and regret. Alternates between recent pop songs and 40s-60s pop songs.
