Never
I have one word answers
to statements
that do not get me
trapped under the snow
or hitting trees
speeding down slopes.
I am not even close
to being
who you think I am.
Over a coffee,
I aim to not impress you
with my silent eyes.
Over a drink,
I aim to not impress you
over my drunken innuendos
and real batty lashes.
I never
ever
get a grip
on reality
for if I do,
I will let it control me
in ways that anxiety does.
I would rather live in my head
be in control
half of the time,
accumulate speeding tickets
burn notebooks
and still
you would not be impressed
by my recklessness,
or my playlist
or my grocery list
for you care only
about the softness of my skin,
how I never age,
so, I do suppose,
in that
I could finally impress you
the most.
How you want to seduce
me with your lies,
your brilliant skies,
your magnetic eyes,
all under poetic disguise.
My dad whispered how he loved me
in my dream last night .
You care not for my poetry
or my dark eyeliner
all you care for
is my reality
to be yours
naked
under strange sheets.
I prefer the smell of fabric softener.
My dad said the words
I longed to hear.
Even in death he knows what
I need to hear.
And still I can never be yours.

Damn, that was so freaking good. You have a brilliant writing style that is only YOU. By the way, I hope I had something to do with that line about your grocery list…lol. This was classic Christina Strigas. Fuck, everyone should be forced to bow before reading your work.
Good morning Andrew, thank you so much, reading that as my first comment fills my heart with lots of joy! Woke up fucked up so that helps. You may have popped up unconsciously lol!

Waiting on that email, I will let everyone on wordpress know as well! Can’t catch up with this social media omg, it’s time consuming! Thanks so much. I have to actually start my shopping today.
