Detach from Your Lacuna by Viruette

I don’t think I’m in love;
I’m in an episode
Gets me so poetic
Maims my mind
I’ve been lonely
And it hits me so hard
I’m done babbling, and Myla’s infected by the dirty air
She says
“You know that on Sundays they play Love Will Tear Us Apart over at mainline?”
“Yeah”
I’m clearly drunk, but I’m going to get myself into the club
Hours pass
Like the rain beads drip in through the sunroof of our 3AM taxi
As my better pieces detach
“Oh, honey, I need attachable keys” she says
Catching her dress on the latch of her window
Then “I’m no sadist, but your spirit’s fun to bend”
Myla’s étude is “am I a beast or a beauty?”
“You are the best ex-Soviet lesbian I ever met” I reply
It’s not enough.
