Dropped me like a cigarette
And walked over it
**** stomping it out
Not even worth it

But i'm still burning
Once ignited a camp fire flame in his heart

Like a firefly
The light guided the way
In the dark

Thought he'd be the one to catch me if id fall
Never thought he'd hurl me at the wall

Embers of tears violently escape
Of the cigarette
Those burns I can't take

Please RSVP
to the event which is my life
and don't forget to follow me
might you please like?!

<pause>

It's been days
& virtually
no likes.
But that's how we judge our self-worth
and give meaning to proceeding in life.

SLAPPED in the face
by an opening door.
My past flashes forward
as I hit the floor.

Liked by many
Disliked by more
I used to relish in the love of my haters
like a *****.

Always high
from the love of my admirers

I did not care to be judged
in the social court room
of people for higher.

A hand pulls me towards
the future
which is now
my present
in the past

Pulled forward
to the door
which took me back.

I liked that girl.
She was an ultimate me.
She did not care
to RSVP.

Yanked forth once more
from the protruding arm out the door.

Hesitant I

shoes nervously glued to space
in this time.

Please RSVP?
to the event
which is me?!

I'm guest of honor
*****!

I took my shoes off
and walked in freely.

Yellow and brown.
Stained from years of over consumption.
Coffee or Chai? And periods of chain smoking.

I'm not a smoker. Can't remember the last time I purchased stoges
Last week?
Those weren't for me. Those were Parliaments. And Marlboro Lights.
I smoke Menthols.

*Can I *** one?
