Dumped

you dumped me and I agreed with you
I wasn't good news
you needed to lose me
I was dragging you down
I was too deep
I was too heavy
I loved you too much
love gets in the way
you didn't want to rope me in
I didn't make you grin
I was good in bed
but outta my head
I was a crazy little space chic
you wanted a bird feeder instead
I wasn't a happy bluebird
I was absurd in my black streaks
my freaky tears
my lipstick smears
without peers
alone in a ratty apartment
on a Saturday night
a fight waiting to happen
too much contained
in one sad stained body
I was an implosion
and all the peppermint lotion on the shelf
wouldn't help
