2.22.11


i'm really quite terrible at loving other people.
i keep people around because they benefit me.
i'm terrible at relationships i forget birthdays and dont ask questions
or take the time to stop and talk when i am in a hurry
the world is only viewed on my terms and what i have to do today
or what test i'm going to fail tomorrow.

i forget that you had a bad day at work
or that your grandfather just died
or it's hard for you to spend time with him
i don't ask if you are thirsty or what your biggest dreams are

i just want you to bring me my coffee before it gets cold and not in that damn paper cup
and i don't care that you are depressed because your
paranoia
gets in my way and makes me uncomfortable.
