I Told Him This Poem is About Us
You,
the mortar
Me,
the pestle
I'll grind you down
until you're skin and
-bone
to pick with you
about all the stupid
shit I do
Trust me.
I don't trust me either.
Honey,
I want you to keep your distance
a little closer
Vicious cycle
like we're Sid and Nancy
you liked my grammar
oh she punctuates so sassy
Now I run on all my run on sentences
Borderline, baby
it's opposite day
and don't you like oppositional play?
No ring on my finger
yet we're still engaging
I wonder what battle
it is that we're waging
Well,
we're both bastards now.
There's no use complaining
Honey,
I want you to keep your distance
a little closer.
