mouth bleeds out; this time in anger

so, finally - some truth.
the awkward fit of pleasant inside my mouth
it never has suited me.

i have tried to wear the mantle of happy girlfriend girl
but he is too clever
and sensed it fit ill

his ever-constant pleasant
abruptly turned three-dimensional
yesterday morning

i'm sorry i've lied
and tried to be better than i am
i can't really blame him
for feeling so gypped

though i can now at least account for
his pre-conditioned timelines and templates
and otherwise anal-retentive need to neatly fit

no wonder; my blood is a sweet mess
that i've bottled too lightly
