That’s not me
in that picture.
I know where I was on that night.
It was somewhere far.
I was getting scary skinny.
Unable to eat the bad food.
That’s not me
in that picture
with you.
I know where i was
that night.
Somewhere cold and snowing.
Probably standing
feeling confused.
Wishing that
where i was
had you.
That’s not me
in that picture.
I was somewhere
far away
sharing my single bed
with a guitar player
from Berlin.
Getting scary skinny.
Getting scary sad.
I am not in that picture.
You sure look handsome though.
I was somewhere
far away.
The guitar player would get grumpy
when it took me too long
to come to bed.
He had no idea
the scary skinny girl
he fucked
was sitting on the edge of the bathtub
door locked up tight.
Reading letters
from the boy in that picture.
The picture
I am not in.
That is not me
in that picture.
Smiling with you.
But on the night
it was taken.
I was somewhere
far away.
Getting skinny.
Getting sad.
Wishing that
where I was
had you.
