Broken English

It makes no difference

No hogging blankets

No tired kisses, or matching outfits

It makes no difference

It's unrealistic

A girl who’d look past my broken English

It makes no difference

If they permit it

Is it so selfish to need a witness?

It makes no difference

The best intentions

I guess I'll miss it, just one more Christmas

They tell you you're perfect

And they tell you you're worth it

But I've already heard this

When your words are worthless

It makes no difference

My whole existence

Is it my purpose to feel so distant?

It makes no difference

I feel malignant

I'm trying so hard to not be jaded

It makes no difference

If I insisted

I'll say I'm okay but I won’t mean it

It makes no difference

I've grown arthritic

Is it the weather or rigor mortis?

It makes no difference

Snowing through the brake lights, drown the voices out

Annual reminder that you're not around

Another day to math out how I let you down

The riverbed is shallow, but it's enough to drown

It makes no difference

A done decision

Ain't it so perfect you're not here for this?

It makes no difference

The spring is fiction

For people like me, it's always winter
