PENINSULA

by Chelsea Beth

/
1.
I walked down to the neighbors house after you knocked everything off my shelf i was more surprised than scared They consoled my crying sister i sat alone in my room i guess, they just thought i needed time to sort things through You always wore your sunday best and so much pain went unaddressed as the walls came crashing down on your final fantasy and that house was so empty that house was so goddamn empty You always had the best intentions i often feel compelled to mention i had so many pretty things but mom got sick of trying and dad was always lying i really don't blame her for when she decided to leave Perhaps if we were pixelated and if our lives were animated i'd go back and make a different move maybe mom would have stayed maybe dad would have changed i drive myself crazy with these reminiscent views We drove down that desolate road begging mom please come back home i still wonder where she wanted to go... but now it's time to say goodbye the water's flooding in it's already to my chin and i never learned how to swim

And i never got anything i wanted until i stopped wanting it but it didn't stop me from wanting any time i'd play a song for you you'd float in and out of the room as if you were living in a dream where your white kitchen's always clean and nothing dirty could touch you... so i guess you'd say i went unheard except for an admonishment for every single curse word a glance for anything unpleasant i guess you'd say your hearing is selective so just leave the room just close the door if you can't be with me when i'm unhappy i don't want to be with you anymore so what am i supposed to be? a blinking doll on strings? she only knows how to knod yes and go to sleep

distracted 03:26
All dressed up with no where to go i think i did this for myself but i already know it would have been different if you were there, it's always different when you are there i would have stared at you as you walked into the room i would have thought of all the things that i would like to do with you and it could be so good it's always so good but it's just a distraction it's just a distraction to me it's just a distraction you're just a distraction from me and i've been distracted as long as i've been living... i pretend that you smiled at me i pretend that you care about me cause my whole life i've been falling in love with an invisible man and an invisible man can't ever love me daddy do you see me sitting on your knee? daddy do you see me? I'm sitting on your knee daddy do you see me sitting on your knee? daddy do you see how good i did? ...and i've been distracted as long as I've been loving.
