Waterfall

Ten times out of nine

––I know,

If I were a boy, every girl 

––in here

circulate 

the image. 

Cliché on his mouth 

like liquor

––who wants 

the perfect love 

story                ––anyway 

I got hot––

sauce in my bag,

swag. 

Wax on? wax off.

Now I’m even more,

––lost. 

You won’t break my––

pictures snatched, 

out

the frame

why can’t I keep–– 

my hands off? 

Eyes,

              when I put on

show me your scars. 

Lord, forgive me.

I’m stingy

with                 my love

won’t you hold on?

             To me,

             I was here.
