the butterfly effect

  • you felt the flutter and 
    i felt the seismic spark.

    i asked if you wanted to build a sailboat with me, 
    but you said the weather wasn't good enough, 
    the materials were expensive, 
    and it would be a lot of work. 

    it was a yes or no question. 
    you didn't say yes, 
    so you meant no.

    i said your one-month free trial was over. 
    you said you hate that i'm so straightforward. 

    i lied when i said you split me in two. 
    sorry for the shit talk, baby, i'm blue. 

    ---
    epilogue

    on that last day i said your eyes looked like galaxies

    and you said that was the gayest shit you ever heard

  • I actually like this one from a lyric/poetic perspective.


    The end is like an existential punchline. Nice job.
