is it love
or ocd
do i want him
or is it just
that i want to get it
right
have a do-over
fix a wrong
scrub a black mark off
my soul
forgive me, ex-boyfriend
for i have sinned
it might be love
but it is most definitely
ocd
he is my crooked painting
my light switch
maybe left on
he is that itch
that involuntary
twitch
getting over him
getting over it
is my
mount everest
(i’m ready to start
climbing)
busy with the self-analysis, and it felt like an egon schiele moment.

i like how it turned out. this is how i feel. lumpy bumpy and dislocated. hunting for publishers and refreshing myself on writing query letters after a couple of decades of lying low…as i said in yesterday’s post, it all has me feeling fragile. trying to ignore the little voices as they snarl, “who the fuck would publish you?”
grumpy bumpy lumpy me.
I absolutely love this one. Has a Spanish flair to me for some reason

When I was a teenager, I had a REALLY hard time understanding the difference between love and obsession. Hopefully I’m much better now lol. I’ve been happily married now for 15 years, so that should have taught me something!

i know i love(d) him, but i’m obsessed with making it “right.” kind of like being obsessed with getting someone to admit they are wrong.
