Skinny LoveA Poem by Oliver LeeI am in love with a boy; it's skinny loveWhy do you bother talking to me? I know it hurts you the same way it hurts me It hurts to be so far away from each other Especially when we're caught in skinny love When we flirt And we taunt And we share a bond That couldn't be broken by God his damn self And you make me laugh But I can't tell you That when we video chat on my laptop All I stare at is your lips Hoping that one day I'll be able to kiss them I can't, tell you, I know exactly how you feel When you're sad When you're angry When your insides twist and churn Because the boy you've been dating Isn't enough for you I know what it's like to not f*****g be happy I hate skinny love Our love is too shy to expose itself And sometimes I feel like it would be less painful for me If you weren't the love of my f*****g life Or if we just didn't f*****g talk
