Dawn, with Bullet Hole

I have never

studied wars,

but I wouldn’t

be surprised

if behind every

major conflict

there’s always that

one asshole

who does that 

one asshole thing

right before

the first shots

rip souls,

like the one time

you asked him

if he really

did that thing

to me,

and by that thing,

I actually mean

his regular insistence

that I share his bed

with him

when I was only

thirteen.
