Fuck your septum ring

Fuck your septum piercing and your rattlesnake tattoo

Fuck the essays you read about object/subject metaphor

Fuck your hair and fuck your eyes, especially when they sparkle blue

Fuck that I'm just "not exactly that which you've been searching for"


Fuck that you think you're still straight even though you dated me

Fuck when you get angry over losing simple games

Fuck that road trip we took through Rhode Island to "gaze at the sea"

Fuck that all your friends never learned how to say my name


Fuck that I was only ever ends to your self-realized means

Fuck that time you stood me up at the movie Encanto

Fuck the way I felt in my chest when you said you're leaving

Fuck the way these tears rained down to soil far below


The fall ground is soaked and cold rain flows and drips below the tree roots

 The sky at sunset is painted a glowing scarlet rose

The trees shed their all leaves and I think that I must follow suit

Naked and washed clean, my branches bare, my heart exposed

 

Summer turns to autumn and I know my form belongs 

Among the trees (I hate that you rejoice in metaphor)

Fuck that I still think of your approval etched across this song

Maybe when the season turns I'll think of you no more.
