My feelings are backlogged because you've got my URL on your homepage shortcuts next to Google and Pornhub. / I relish the days I used to subtweet you from the club.

Mata Hari
You’ve got some new ***** you think is better, / She’s a second rate version of me, doll. / She’s not your freedom, she’s your fetter

Macchiato
Don’t date people who drink coffee. / But especially don’t date people who claim they love coffee / then drown it in sugar and cream.
