Date delema

Objectify female existence. 
First date, defined 
Which category,
perhaps for sexual fantasy 

goth, no
emo, club kid,
eh
oh rocker chick
that’s it

how we clashed
genres of rock
a generation apart
the dead,
the grunge, the soul,
and the funk

false narrative 
it wasn’t enough

mistook attention for love
a common mistake
play thing, a toy
you, my only joy…
not

the narrative you desire
to tell others 
how I suffocate 
didn’t give space
when we both know
you’re the one 
who needs to save face 

from your family and friends
tell them I left
again
when literally 
you pushed me away in the end.
