Sonnet ’17.5: Good Enough
Want me to tell you what you want to hear?
Pretty and witty and shitty and stuff;
Hot air makes me want to puncture my ear.
Sorry I'm honest; life's not short enough:
Little red dresses you wear turn me on;
Sweatpants and baggy shirts--yeah, not so much.
Its hard to miss you when you're never gone,
Droning on always 'bout nonsense and such:
Don't think that I don't want you by my side,
You're good enough to keep me up at night;
Better than just my hand to be my guide;
Etched in my memory--turn out the light:
Long as you're silent you'll always be here,
Here in my fantasy you'll live, my dear.
