I shed pretension like a stunted snake skin
within the vicinity of your warmth.
Chicken soup simplicity, I love the recipe.
Took me ages to find the right stock.
Four-on-the-floor beats the dissonance
of time signatures fighting for dominance.
I've thrown away so much paper for you.
At least a few trees have died in your name.
How selfish. You're lucky I'm sticking around!
And that it takes almost no effort!
That a barely audible suggestion from you
can sink in further than anyone's barking!
Why am I still yelling!
You did this to me!
Coaxed me into cracking
the icy shell I was mistaking
for a safe haven!
How dare you make me realize
that the light at the end of the tunnel
was something other than a freight train?!
You beautiful *******
You magnificent cur.
I'll never be the same.
With your roasted chestnut
of a personality, how could I not
expect to start thawing?
