Oh Miss Low,
\nI know it’s been a while, but I still recall your silly grin
\nStill smell the smokey herbal fragrance of your hair and taste of your freckled skin<\/p>\n
Still remember that blizzard car ride
\nWhen we almost crashed and died
\nStill remember that same night when your eyes rolled back so far I thought you did<\/p>\n
I was just a kid then,
\nI guess we both were, but you were more mature
\nYou knew how to drive me utterly insane while you remained demure
\nYou played me like a piccolo, Miss Low
\nAnd although I don’t regret it
\nI look back at my ignorance and still feel so pathetic <\/p>\n
But what did I expect?
\nI was high school, you were college
\nI had brains but you had carnal knowledge
\nAnd I get you needed more NOW
\nBut I just wished you’d have acknowledged everything I said to you,
\nAll the times I read in bed to you
\nThat time that I even shed blood for you,
\nWhen I got my ass kicked by that that meathead dude<\/p>\n
So rude, the way you just pushed me aside
\nTold me you needed space,
\nThen I see you a week later with some bourgeois guy in his fancy ride
\nAnd I felt a little piece of myself die<\/p>\n
But I’m done crying <\/p>\n
Good bye <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
