Bon Voyage!


She was there
Saying all the things I
Loved to hear but dropping
Him
And him
and him
And those that
Scamper underfoot

She was there
Her skin
Eyes
All of the things I
Wanted

Right there

Right

There

I told her
Reach for the happy
Hammered it because
Fuck
I want her to have it
Because
Fuck
She doesn’t have it now.

I said I thought she was
Kind of fantastic
Looked at her with my blues

She said she loved me

I said I loved her too

Every muscled screamed
Right from the soul of me.
A great goddamn mouth opened up
At the core of me
And howled for
Her

But I couldn’t do it
Couldn’t lean over and
Steal a kiss

She isn’t his
She isn’t fucking
Property
But she isn’t worth
Ruining the person I am
In the arms of betrayal.

So now I’m alone
She’s gone and I’m
Left scribbled a fucking poem
Instead of maybe fucking a woman
That I love.
