my legs are closed now
so it's all through to you
you say:
what a night
you're fantastic
well
that was fun
while it lasted
I say:
oh yeah
well
go on now
get gone
but despite my efforts
to deny it
to hide it
my young heart
is ripped open,
in two
because
it's through
wondering your answers
to the questions
left behind
in my mind
what's your middle name?
where do you take proper girls
on a first date?
am i just a flake,
full of hate?
do you have a favorite
cursive letter?
if you loved someone,
when would you tell her?
how will you make a living?
(certainly not by drinking)
does your mother know you're
a lying lush?
do you know that you're
a lousy ****
will you remember me?
i hope to forget you soon
although it's doubtful
but i have to
to get my soul full
again
wondering the answers
until I indulge once more
and my heart is torn
into 4, then 8
until it disintegrates
I say:
go on
get gone
don't make
me late
