A Comprehensive List of Failed Relationships

A hot summer day in 2012 and it hurts like hell
You look like heaven in a glass
The pavement beside me is painted with ash
The monotone expression
Cashier pulling out a twenty
It's a personal recession
But not exclusively with money
So honey, tell me
Do you still believe in love
When I mention our explorations
Is there a place you're thinking of or just my body
Don't believe me if I tell you that I'm sorry
I would smoke cigarettes at the table while you watched my mind unravel
Across the kitchenette the fabled screaming teapots tend to travel
And carry noise in through the cadence
As we rummage through the basement to find ourselves
We put on Netflix so we could suck each other dry
The background noise to occupy
The screaming warning signs within our minds
As you cover your mouth
So you won't be too loud
This is a comprehensive list
Of all my failed relationships
It's not my preference but it fits me like a glove
These are the reasons why I'm not capable of love
There is a place inside the cold dark damp
Recesses of my conscience
Where I buried you alive
An unmarked tombstone seems as honest
As any question could be waiting
Along the shorelines captivating
Like dirty moth wings
Running you your flame
You are an old friend
But you're not welcome anymore
You are an old friend
But you're not welcome anymore
