YOU TAKE MY SOUL AND CRUMPLE IT UP
(First line as temp title)

You take my soul and crumple it up
into a small paper ball
and roll it away into a small corner
of existence, and say to me
"I always loved you"
as though it doesn't hurt the more
to know that you once had
feelings for me,
and I'm reminded of the time
that you said that my soul was like
a small paper cup
and I said "then take my life
and my soul and
drink from it."
