​dorm room June Henry

Dorm room, root rot
Thought I got a grip on it I guess not
Over watering to overcompensate for all the ways that carin’ cannot ever be enough

Dorm room, horseshoe
Hung upside down trying to save you
As if all you really need is some good luck

Dorm room, concrete
The floor where we cried, and you held me
Admit to our misdeeds
With shitty speaker blaring "I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne

I wish you would call me
I swear to God I've never lost this much sleep
Over somebody

It's hard to know that you're so close to me
But you're on a different planеt entirely
I’d meet you wherе you’re at
But I've been there before
So I guess I'll just stay here
Lonely rotting in my dorm room


Dorm room, root rot
Thought I got a grip on it I guess not
Over watering to overcompensate for all the ways that carin’ cannot ever be enough
