WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT

to smile like that,

you ******* Cheshire cat,

your lips curled up

as you lounge in the grass,

your legs sprawled out,

your face painted every

shade of smug

because I want to kiss you

(and you know it)

because I want to **** you

(I hope you know that)

for ruining roundhouses

with weak knees

for turning my right hook

into my right hand on your chest

as you pull me in closer

you turned my (occasional) quick wit

into pure aphasia

brought on by your all-consuming gaze

and I'm left awkward and dumbstruck,

wondering who gave you the right

to look at me like that
