I love roller coasters
The uncertainty of the upside down
The certainty of the eventual drop
Screaming so hard, your throat dries off.
I love roller coasters
so much so that I became one.
The uncertainty of upside downs,
the certainty of eventual drops
the sudden, jolted turns.
I was the roller coaster.
And I constantly apologized for it.
No one should be on a roller coaster
against their will
But he was.
And I constantly apologized for it,
Mornings,
Nights
Mid-afternoons,
Mondays,
Wednesdays,
With periods,
Without.
I apologized every time the button switched on
and the rails creaked a little.
Today,
The moment I apologized for it,
You told me you loved roller coasters.
It was then that I realized,
He hated them.
Hated the uncertainty of upside downs
Hated the certainty of the eventual drop
Hated roller coasters.
Yours truly,
Painted Shadow
