I wouldn't use the colon and comma, that seems overkill to me.
IT IS SO ON, BITCH. Bring it. I will fend you off with my colon.
Wait. That doesn't sound right.

I would go with an m-dash or colon. But I find the longer I teach, the less I correct individual grammar errors in student papers. There's usually bigger fish to fry. Speaking of which, I should get back to grading.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesus?
Also Jesus. He's crashing on the sidewalk.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That "usually" is fucking everything up, which is why no punctuation is good.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
The comma looks fine to me, actually. Not super formal but totally acceptable.
