I'm a not-so-hopeless romantic,
I sealed a date,
somehow.

I flirted I thought
but I knew that I ought
to cut back on my perilous prowl.

My absolute closest best friend,
is in love with this girl,
it would seem.

I told him I like her
but he really likes her
and I can't help but feel mean.

(The girl) We've been friends for a while,
and I've always fancied her style,
but only recently text
(completely unvexed)
and decided to spark up a trial.

Now judge if you must,
but in Molly I trust,
and this girl wants to know how she feels.

So coated in sugar
her words without quiver
request that we share her appeal.

Alone in her room,
four hours and soon,
confused, tired and worn.
There's always the chance,
that our flirting advanced,
our careful responses
and cheekier choices,
will stump this chaotic lovelorn.
"Molly" is a common street name for the "love drug" MDMA

You make me feel pretty,

delicate as fairies, a bit cheekier than usual

in an old faded grey -stretched by the tumbles of the washing machine and dulled by the sunshine- t-shirt and old boxer shorts.
There is a beauty in being at home, laughing on the carpet, not giving a **** about how you look.
Hihihihi lovelys!

a quantum of soul and cherry ***** in the backseat of a ford-
we were going to eighty-six the world

the sinews of our unattainable hands
that yanked themselves free
and went to ruining our best Bellamy salutes
and went to forming ladders and tarmacs in the vapor of the night
and went to everything

it's wasn't the shaking or the vim of the stockyards on the days they hung up ornaments
it wasn't those who followed a cheekier Moira and gawked at Rita of Cascia as she passed by

it was the way escape felt with you as it's stern
it's the way escape felt with you full of sanguinity

the kind that your mother gave you in the belly of California
the kind that I ripped away for ***** and giggles

I thought I was incapable of romantic love
I thought I was good at controlling my emotions
But I realized I was wrong when I met you

You were very wrong for me
Our beliefs clashed
Our families would object

But that sparkle in your eyes
That passion and excitement in your words
I've never met someone so alive

The sad, empty me of that time
Craved for you, hated you
Because with you, I could feel

A series of unexpected coincidences ensued
We got together
Almost made me believe in destiny

It was so good for a short while
I never knew how comforting touch can be
For once, I don't feel alone

But we were in a bad place
I hated myself
You hated yourself

I tried to make you love yourself
You tried to make me love myself
We both failed

It's been a year since we parted
I swear I'm over you
but please tell me why

Every new person I was slightly interested in
I wished they were brighter, cheekier, more honest
More like you

I thought I would find another if I look
I thought things would fall into place as easily as it was with you
But now I fear you'll be the only one

Still, I am changing for the better
There is no going back to you
I won't let you be the only one
