My best friend taught me how to French braid
although truthfully I'm still pretty bad at it
I sit behind my sister, mindlessly crossing sections of hair
my cat plots our demise from the foot of my bed

I wonder if when he's all alone, in the middle of a song
he closes his eyes and thinks of me
Taylor Swift blares from our speaker
“I was enchanted to meet you.”

The sun bleeds through my blinds
making the room stifling hot since our A/C's out
I cut my leg shaving yesterday rather badly
I make a mental note to re-bandage it

When does Doctor Who premier for the fall?
I don't remember but it's too long,
a forgotten, lost watch beeps from somewhere in the room
“Please don't be in love with someone else.”

I went out driving again today
no curb-jumping this time
I'm lost and not found
someone find me or please just remember me

It's Bruno Mars now
“She looks beautiful
and I tell her every day.”
I want someone to tell me I look beautiful every day.
