new york, ny

you're pretty overcrowded with your vermin.
your cost of living.
your shitty salary.
and your inability to reconcile these issues.

and I love you, ooooo I really do.
so contemplating leaving breaks my heart.

but the reality of the situation is you don't give a fuck about me.
about the people who live here,
grew up here.

you eschew property ownernship.
justify $20 drinks at a bar.
you drain pockets.

you have rats.
running across the sidewalks, across the toes of innocent pedestrians.
you're dirty.

and all we get is a fucking $3 I <3 NY t-shirt.

so as much as I love you, I can't stay here with you.

and it sucks because like most people and things I've loved,

you've pushed me away.
