Not my best / based on a story my mom told me about the first car crash she saw

[Text ID: “i love u / i love watching u smoke / i love ur unzipped jeans / & indifference / & the way u make me miss kissing girls / & the way i only know how to love because u didn’t / i love ur bad dreams / the scar on ur thigh the size of ur brothers switch blade / i love the inevitable sting that comes with u / i love the sound of the other shoe when it drops / i love my pointless hope / i love ur apologies / i love the way u kiss with tongue / i love ur taste in booze / & how u hold a beer bottle / & ur contempt of god / & ur sheetless bed / & the holes u leave in everything u touch / like my hoodie, red expect for the spots where bleach had turned it pink / the one i said u could borrow, only if u promised not to chew a hole in the sleeve / & then u did it anyway / & that night u dropped tiny bombs of ash all over my bedsheet / & watched each time as it burnt so many small circles in the fabric instead of doing anything about it / & i knew you’d only apologise if i pointed it out / so i didn’t point it out / & so you didn’t stop.” /End ID]
