Love Life, Hate Kittens

 My fist spoke volumes to your chest tonight

Louder than My Chemical Romance in the background

Before MTV popularized broken hearts between girls and boys

I want a hot boy, you want a fly girl

A fly girl that never flies away

Yes she knows where she’s going

No I don’t think I’ll be staying

No more telling people that I’m taken

No more watching water boil in your kitchen

Three minute top ramen left uncooked

No more operators transferring your I love yous

You only live and love in saved voicemails

On demand, over and over again

I no longer look for your key underneath your door mat out of habit

No longer look for your key fitting my heart

or under my skirt

Still fits but no longer same

You enter with a vengeance matching I love you in every thrust

Willing the floodgates to open

Willing me to accept your flaws

Willing me to stay

Take my phone off your charger, shut out the noise

You can lie and live forever in my Nokia

I’m almost to your door

The one that let me in

Now let me leave

I reach for your key to open

But you hide it away

Replay voicemails in my head

Come over, don’t leave, come over, don’t leave

To replay this message, press one

To replay this message, press one

To forget you forever, press three

Fuck it

Give me back your key if you want me to stay

I’m only here because I’m addicted

to the broken hearts of MTV
