Turns out I am a man sized Inappropriate Bad idea machine And I wish I had someone to blame Like you maybe I’d like to cause and affect your beauty How I drink to stop my stutter But only when I see you do I stutter Is that beer on my breath Beautiful woman? Or is it the burning smell Of leftover courage I found it in a cup Cost me five dollars I mean Chivalry is not dead He and I just got lost in translation How I still think it’s cute To drunk text Or type Or I mean I am drunk right now Writing this A six pack alone And still I can see you in the fog Of my memories movies Just as clearly sober And just as hauntingly beautiful Probably I shouldn’t tell you that But phone in hand I say What’s up? I’m drunk again. Goodnight. I mean Not even fake courage Could settle obnoxiousness enough To be truthful So in permanent marker On my bathroom mirror I remind myself “You are an ******* Turns out I’m an *******
