How I'm Gonna Be An Optimist About This - 07/07/14

They're playing
"That Song That Reminds Me Of You"
I say as if there's only
one.

So I keep closing my eyes and pretending
    nothing changed at all
will the walls
start rebuilding themselves?

If I stockpile mistakes
for you to mock
or break social protocol
just to piss you off,
will that provoke you to
open my snaps
or text me back
or say anything at all?

Believe me, I know:
writing poems for people
who make you feel like shit
won't make them love you

but that's
how I'm gonna be an optimist about this.
