ihateboys*
*i hate the way they’ve been conditioned to treat me like one of their dad’s boats/like something to associate with only when the tide sits just so/how their connection to their feelings is as loose as their morals/festering like a rotted tooth, not prodded at but simply punched/the bathroom door never saw it coming/they say that hell is a teenage boy but have they ever felt the way i feel every time you laugh at one of my jokes/how you make me feel like i am golden and gilded/gilded like the lily you don’t offer when you ghost me later/the smell of your cologne clinging to your clothes/closer, closer/collarbone against my cheek, oh/you are an angular miracle/a marvel wearing misogyny like it’s silk/like it’s a suit tailored just for you/by the men who first taught you that the proper word for a girl’s downstairs parts was mine/and yet i still guzzle your rattlesnake romance/because venom tastes like champagne/when i don’t know you’re saving it for someone else.

A little disclaimer – I do not hate boys. I love boys. I hate misogyny. That’s what the asterisk’s for.
