oh, what the hell, you’re not going to fucking read this anyway


“all my friends got flowers in their eyes

but i got none this season

all of last year’s blooms have gone and died

but time don’t give a reason” – adam duritz

 

you want to talk

no, actually you want me to listen

and by my listening make you relevant

then leave me to lick my wounds

 

i’m suppose to swoon

show my love by suffering for you

give all

work my fingers to the bone

when it kills me and you are alone

my body is not even cold

as you yell, “next?”

 

because the context

is your happiness

all is defined

by my towing the line

 

(oh do you wonder who i’m talking about?

are you female?

well strut and pout

and tell me it isn’t true)

 

love is defined by my pleasing you

and when i go fetal

need a crutch to help me stand

suddenly i’m not your kind of man

and how quickly you can sift the sand

and find the grain that goes according to plan

 

oh, but i’m not talking about you

you’re man gets everything that is due

in fact, you give so much he actually owes you

can i say right now?

“FUCK YOU!”

 

“surely he’s not writing about me

my man doesn’t need to bleed

well, only when i cut him

because i need him to prove his love

by being my sacrificial dove

who i will toss from the altar

the second another one fulfills

the terms of my ritual sacrifice”

 

appease her

and guess what

you get to be something with which

she is never truly satisfied

 

oh she’ll upload the post

she’s the banquet and you’re the host

until the next round of hunger pains

when she needs to feed

a vampire wanting you to bleed

voluntarily

 

until you’re a carcass to be tossed aside

replaced by the next needy guy

but don’t worry she will need you

to cover her like the sky

until you can no longer reach her horizon

then within your inability she will be justified

in saying goodbye
