Oatmeal Raisin Love Song

Loving you is like trying to float on eggshell rafts
When the adrenaline rush is over and I have to sweep up the vase
Vases
Loving you is very easy when I don't love myself but when I do
It's drinking water from a cactus
As prickers stick out of my thumbs
Loving you is that thing lactose intolerant people do because ice cream seems worth it before an hour passes
Loving you is baking oatmeal raisin cookies and then having to eat them so they don't go to waste
Because the raisins aren't chocolate
They aren't even close
Last week I ate three dozen oatmeal raisin cookies
And each bite reminded me of you

    It was just a fluke that I happened to see

    The ghost of a girl in 1893

    I didn't think much of her, tried to ignore

    But then she came 'round in 1894

    A spirit was not something that I had wanted

    That I was ink and glue and wax but mostly, I was papercuts

    Did you know that, when you read me, I am made of memories
