How My Life Has Become A Katy Perry Song

Screw you.

Honestly.

I would thank you for the poetry, but that’s all you gave me.

That and this existence

Where my life is like a Katy Perry song

Because you’ve been playing hot n’ cold

Leaving me thinking of you

Even though you are just distant,

Like ET

There are fleeting moments when we share a teenage dream

But rapidly I just transform into one of the boys

And I settle for that

Because you are like a firework

You explode within my core

Forcing me to ignore

The fact you proclaim, “I Kissed A Girl”

But don’t want to put in the effort to form a relationship

I’m no fling

But I’m still breathing you in

Reliving last Friday night

Because you are just so adorable

That you’ve sewn yourself within me

You are a part of me

That I can’t discard

And when you prance around

Flashing your charm to others

Like a frisky peacock

I just keep thinking of you

Praying that you will not become the one who got away

I’m wide awake

But instants beside you make me feel like I’m submerged in a dream

It’s all so surreal

And when I drink you like a cup of coffee

I feel myself wander to new places

I’m waking up in Vegas

Looking into the mirror and finding a new me

One of those California gurls

And I’m slipping by

Trying to blame the fact we aren’t together

On the inevitable

Saying you’re so gay

That everything is the product of growing pains

But I know the only thing developing

Is my affection

For you

So thanks.

Really

For the confusion

And diffusion of concepts

And for making my life

Into a

Cheesy

Sleazy

Easy

And merry

And wrong

Katy Perry song.
