dating (2011)

I broke up with my last boyfriend
because he couldn’t pay the rent.

I broke up with my last boyfriend
because he smelled funny
he never shaved
his bed gave me asthma.

I broke up with my last boyfriend because
he thought I wanted to have sex with every other man in the room  
and he was right.

I broke up with my last boyfriend because his mother gave me the shits
Because he was a terrible kisser
Because the sex made my lower back hurt
Because we had nothing to talk about
and I’d lost my appetite.

I broke up with my last boyfriend
Because he wanted to change the world
and we couldn't have done it together you see. 

I broke up with my last boyfriend because... 
I drink a lot of coffee,
I stopped sleeping,
it became unsustainable.

Any anyway
I don’t think we technically broke up
because I don’t think that we were technically 'going together'
so I guess that means we didn’t really…

I stopped seeing him.
We don’t talk anymore.
It’s complicated.
