eyes turned down, we cast
glances across the room at each other;
we are both selfish, selfish people
neither of us know love, neither of us
know, but both of us long for it all:
luv. knowing.

& one arm is around her shoulder,
do you have the right to be jealous?
are they burning, now, with
satisfaction; look what i dragged in.
look what I have here, look
what you aren’t; are they
full, sated, can they stop thinking
about you?

remembering intimacy, we are
both wanderers in a populated world,
we are both selfish, selfish people
neither of us know where we’re walking, neither of
us love, but at the end of the day we say
luv u 2
because we like to pretend.
