symptoms of idleness

I was bored, that’s why I did that

I was bored so finally texted you back

I was simply bored so I indulged you in bed

But that was also boring - why did I do that?

I performed for you and that was fun for Me

I made you laugh

I made you feel bad for Me

I made you leave

It’s all manipulation, and that too, was fun for Me

Who knew?

Who knew that being bored could be so fun?


I realized I don’t like you

I’m too good for you

I realized I liked you, only because you liked me

They say it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt

So

I was bored

I put on a tight black dress, bare underneath

Suicide in the air

Wind in my hair

Tequila was in my veins

Oh! I’m not bored!

My cars through the wire

Didn’t go as planned

What’s a girl to do?

She gets inspired


Boredom breeds and I can’t have that 

Then I met you - not bored

I crawled hands and knees

I was feral for you

Three weeks later you took me across ocean blue

Where’s my boredom? Hello?

Said I was your Doll

Boring

You felt my boredom, now you’re bored, you’re gone.


At least I’ve got my creature comforts

My reaper

My pen

My hand, my pleasure

My city

I’m often bored but fascinated by the mundane

Is that what they call living?

I got bored

I am bored

I was bored

So I wrote this

And if you’re reading this

I know

You’re just as bored

as Me.
