I am the light bulb that dies too soon
I am that button that falls off your favorite sweater
I am that garden hose
I always fall short.
I am that dress that doesn’t fit
I am that hip that pops a stitch
I am that mirror that calls you fat
I don’t care about your feelings.
I am that ice cube you accidently swallow
I am that guard that pulls your gallows
Plunging you to your dreams.
I call myself your best friend
I will never be there for you.
