Love so good I said Ouch

Tomorrow marks on my calendar the day to call you
But I remembered I’m not allowed to do that anymore
I have confessed my hope for absolution
And there is no part of me left, willing to celebrate
What has been deemed hideous
I’ve been told I’m scrappy
And I hang in scrappy places.
But should take being called scrappy as a compliment
Because I’m scrappy in a cute way
I miss you walking naked towards me
In your Putnam apartment
Where we sleep together
And that’s normal.

Because I’m scrappy in a cute way
