Blake Baby

Blake Baby

A Poem by prettybretty

I listen to Juliana Hatfield
just sit here all day
I feel like crying today
i'm really pretty
one time i cried the worst i'd ever
and when i saw my face in the mirror
i had never looked prettier
i probably thought of swallowing the Benadryl

i don't know how you call this feeling
of love & melancholy & awe
but not sad
until i found out 
you slept with those girls
not sad at all

i'm prettier now
my hair darker than night
shorn at youth's prime

i'm cooler now
i've become a goth in spirit
and i feel more myself
listening to records

why, baby, why?
i love you

i used to have a haircut like Juliana
but i'm not cute.
i'm not pretty as you thought those girls were.
i am rotten to the core.

i smile.
so you're married now.
i can still hear your 
sweet voice calling me
a tainted angel.

i'm so lost.
are you gonna save me again?
come and find me
take my hand
i still remember
when you flew
in the cloudy sky
like an angel
in my dream
