.i grew.

i grew in love with your pictures...
i grew intolerable of your face.
i grew.
then, i grew in love with a russian stripper for four minutes...
and i hated it all.
i was spacing out behind the wheel,
and it was only quarter to three.
but i was watching the vapor trails of exhaust
forming on the car bumper in front of me.
i grew in love with your pictures...
i grew intolerable of your beautiful, beautiful face.
i grew so much...
then i realized;
i am the radical from your college campus.
i am a complete and total mind rapist.
and as those taillights faded into the dark,
i hurled my keys across the street
just as my tears hit their button to start.
i grew in love.
but i grew more and more tired
with every tear;
with every passing cloud of carbon monoxide.
