Skinny Love

Skinny Love

A Poem by Oliver Lee
"

I am in love with a boy; it's skinny love

"
Why do you bother talking to me?
I know it hurts you the same way it hurts me
It hurts to be so far away from each other
Especially when we're caught in skinny love
When we flirt 
And we taunt 
And we share a bond 
That couldn't be broken by God his damn self
And you make me laugh 
But I can't tell you 
That when we video chat on my laptop 
All I stare at is your lips 
Hoping that one day I'll be able to kiss them
I can't, tell you,
I know exactly how you feel
When you're sad
When you're angry 
When your insides twist and churn 
Because the boy you've been dating 
Isn't enough for you
I know what it's like to not f*****g be happy
I hate skinny love
Our love is too shy to expose itself 
And sometimes I feel like it would be less painful for me 
If you weren't the love of my f*****g life
Or if we just didn't f*****g talk
