"We Should Wait/Let's Give This Time"

"We Should Wait/Let's Give This Time"

A Poem by Alexandra

Trudging through leaves 
Camera in hand 
Bukowski on the other 
Ackerman on my mind
Plath in my heart 

She tried to kill herself every 10 years
I just learned what it feels like to die three Saturday's ago 
I got called toxic and manipulative three days ago 
It feels nice to be so adored
Hughes wrote her the Birthday Letters in dedication 
I don't really need all of that 
Your text messages are more than enough to frame 

Anyway, I know we were supposed to do this together 
We planned this out at our favorite bar on a napkin
But, you thought it would've been better to not answer 
So, I think it's better to never hear from you again 

At the end of the day, I'm not missing out on anything.

9 AM 
And i took my Xanax last night 
The smile doesn't come off of my face 
I can't tell if it's the mania 
Or if I'm just so genuinely happy 
Either way, 
I'm starting to love myself more and more
