"Latte Art Heart"

Just an amateur, non-autobiographical piece of poetry inspired by an online breakup that piqued me out of my ennui that I wrote back in August, thought blogging it would aid me in cleaning all of this dust off my SpaceHey profile. It's so very specifically inspired by a tweet that went viral that month, so it's perfectly fine if you, (im)possible reader, haven't come across that story and so disregard any possibilities of exact interpretation of this as so very jarring.

It's been quite a while, and quite the while, and I guess I can say I only truly realized how much I missed logging onto here when I logged onto here just now, it's such a bloody cool website! X3

"latte art heart"
i'm a daydreamer of a night owl, wrapped up in cozy polyester
who daydreams up too late about a frog whose nighttime dreams simp for boys made out of blocks
my lock screen's photons flare up against my bedroom's fabric walls of eigengrau

my name tagged in azure pops up in it
pictures of my favorite drink indexed to a "dear john" tweet
one hopeless inquiry about seriousness
an answer about myself being "too much" for you
that even shattering me blasély through some gimmicky mailbox isn't "too little"

dozens of thousands of embarrassed and voiceless echoes made out of text
chase after waterfalls of teardrops frozen within the dark behind polycarbonate glass
and not even remembrance of which drink was my favorite go-to
snatches me out of this clay-hard plunge

here lies "mr. clay pigeon with feet of clay"
on some gravestone dappled with autumnal garlands of "staying friends"
as you bury me six-feet under with "unapologetically sorry" plates smudged by side dish snacks

and as pixelated limerent infatuation, blindfolded buoyancy and fickle fearlessness
wash away with foamy waves of latte art hearts, blown by gusty heartbreak that cools down my favorite drink
flavoured with mercurial sprinkles of maladaptive daydreaming
slid on an empty mug down the counter by the barista working part-time at my broken heart's lovelorn café
"mr. latte art heartbreaker"
