chemistry 101


sauvé and debonair

words so smooth

they flow like liqueur

 

makes money

smoldering good looks

he’s even interested in you

 

but he’s not the one you choose

even though he moves

heaven and earth for you

 

the heart wants

what the heart wants

 

a swing and a miss

next time you’ll bunt

 

i can treat you like fragile flowers

nurture, cull, protect

then watch you offer your neck

to the vampires who satisfy

their blood lust

then leave your carcass

in a putrid alley

 

the lesson learned

be yourself

till that is what someone loves

and while you wait

expect to be very lonely
