Princess Catastrophe & Her Unhappy Ending

mirror mirror on the wall,
who’s the most heartbroken of all?

Even the mirror ignores me.
I am Princess Catastrophe

and this is my Unhappy Ending.
The End.

Nostalgic Valentine Paper Heart

nostalgic valentine paper heart
reads a smeared I love you
given to me by a soul who’s long past.
and now dust in a buried coffin.
he professed he would love me until he died
promptly fulfilling that promise
with a gun in his mouth
and a nostalgic valentine paper heart
in his hand..

Happy Thoughts, Happy Thoughts, Think Happy Thoughts

I have to keep reminding myself to forget you.
Forget you and me.
(Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, think happy thoughts.)
You wanted me to promise to never say it again
Those three words
(Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, think happy thoughts)
Which is laughably easy to do right now because
We are so far out of touch I couldn’t reach you if I tried
(Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, think happy thoughts)
So I plod through grey days and inky dark nights
Heavy laden with regret
(Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, think happy thoughts)
Tomorrow I will remind myself to forget you.
Forget you and me.
