I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

And as I pulled the half smoked cigarette from

behind your ear and

began to undress you for sleep

you woke, finally.


“I love you”,

pulling me closer,

you slurred.


“You're drunk”,

I turned away abandoning the task at hand

as you attempted to argue otherwise.


Sometimes when you tell me that

you think I'm pretty

it makes me want to cry.


You're always trying to break my heart.
