Boogeyman

What’d you do yesterday

are we really going to pretend like you don’t know

like you don’t see everything I do with your beady little boogeyman eyes

First, my grandma said I have big beautiful eyes and she only lied about 75% of the time so it must be true

Second, of course I know, but a good partner still asks

please excuse me

What are you doing

laughing myself to death

I hope you appreciate that you’re the only person in the world allowed to laugh at me

I’d appreciate it more if you didn’t need it so badly

Who needs to be laughed at

everyone. It keeps a person humble

There’s your problem. I’m amazing. I have no reason to be humble

And neither do you

You’re fucking perfect, Dahlia
