my poems no. 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18
When your hands are shaking
get some wine - although it's only morning and they'll look at you funny -
and pretend everything is alright
When you are sad
Walk through the city as long as it takes to turn the sadness into the blues
most importantly don't call anybody
this is a lonely business
When everybody is looking at you funny
Go to the bathroom and take a peep in the mirror for possible dots on your forehead
When you put on makeup but he didn't show up
Go out for a late coffee and repeat to yourself: I'm not gonna do it again
Don't take yourself seriously, put on makeup next time
When you love him but he has a girlfriend
note: He loves you back
Stand on the bench where you kissed and cry: I don't want you!
It won't help.
