comfortable

i just remembered that time at the market

snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart

and rolled down

aisle five

you looked behind you to smile back at me

crashed into a rack full of magazines

they asked us

if we could leave

i can't remember

what went wrong last September

though i'm sure you'd remind me

if you had to

our love was

comfortable

and so broken in


i sleep with this new girl

i'm still getting used to

my friends all approve,

say "she's gonna be good for you"

they throw me high fives

she says the Bible is all that she reads

and prefers that i not use profanity

your mouth was so dirty

life of the party

and she swears that she's artsy

but you could distinguish

miles from coltrane

our love was

comfortable

and so broken in

she's perfect

so flawless

or so they say

she thinks i can't see

the smile that she's faking

and poses for pictures

that aren't being taken

i loved you

grey sweatpants

no makeup

so perfect

our love was

comfortable

and so broken in

she's perfect

so flawless

i'm not impressed

i want you back
