/ she liked to tell me / she loves me / i cried "i love you" / she shrugged, "sorry, bud" / and she went to make out / on the couch with some dude / she met online three nights ago / 

she asked me to come over / i knocked / she opened the door / smiled / handed me a mop / dirty water in a plastic blue bucket / filled to the brim / my eyes were too / i sneezed, "allergies" / she pointed out her mess / the mop water sloshed around the linoleum / i puked in her toilet / she forgot to ask if i was alright / i went to leave / she threw her arm around my neck, "thanks" / she nudged me with her fist / she closed the door  

/ i woke up to / a nest of glass bottles / i cleaned them up myself /
