My new desperado woman
Asked if I was handy
Like male humans sometimes are
So to try something different
I said the truth
And as usual my plot didn't get me far
She laughed that she loved me forever
Then went downstairs and split with my car

We cycle
Together

To keep at it like it's worth it
Like effort pays off
That this being is competant and worthwhile
Getting out of bed will be better
Than not.
It keeps sending broadcasts
Rationalizing
Justifying
Me
So I guess that's
Nice.

Thanks, ego.

(I also have a whole team in here working against the guy so this "believe in yourself" stuff doesn't get out of hand)

You made me promise to lie
You made me promise I'd sneak
But my only way to stay true
Is making your promise
But refusing to keep

Of all the things
That were false
Which I believed to be true
The one I'll miss most of all
Is the child
That came out of you

She has anger issues when she gets honest
And she doesn't mind if I sleep on the floor
My strategies always backfire anyway
I don't feel like lying to her any more

A guy:

mind on his money
voice and style like honey
mirrors wherever he goes

A guy in an alternate universe:

concerned with primal fears
precision eyes and ears
Unaware of his boogery nose
