Kombucha, Pasta Salad, & Swear Words
Pulled off to the side of the road
You're yelling off everything you know
You step out the car, I watch you go
you pick up a bottle of kombucha to throw
Toss out the pasta salad too
While I’m crying, eating is the last thing I want to do.
Found a haunted corn maze for us to stumble through.
But there wasn’t enough drama for you.
I never thought somebody could call me such names
Or bring up my past as me the one to blame
Whatever insults are close become ammo for the aim.
I don’t even love you. And your actions spell the same.

Didn’t really put much thought into this one tbh just slapped it on the page. This is based on an old experience..
Once I drove my plus one for a halloween group date. The whole way he told me how I was a terrible driver. I sighed. He noticed. We had to pull over so he could drive. Then when I wasn’t hungry anymore he pulled the car over and we had the biggest pettiest argument ever.
We missed the date.
And we broke up.
Phew.

I like the title too, and the message. Some people just attract drama wherever they go, and if that's not enough, they start their own. They are a massive drain on our time and emotions. You're well rid!
