no one was ever meant to
sometimes the loneliness
will distort even the best
memories
beat you down until you
understand that no one
was ever meant to love
you
there goes another bottle
of scotch
soon, you’ll be looking
at a bottle of pills and
thinking of one of your
musical heroes
these are the nights you
turn on coltrane and let
him blow some sense
into you
somehow, you’ll be
searching for a vein
and looking for the
cloudy sunshine in a
land where rainbows
don’t exist
from top to bottom
she had on one
of those dresses
with buttons in
the front from
top to bottom
the kind of dress
that someone
with a dirty
mind suddenly
starts to have
a little fun with
and in my mind
after undoing every
button with my teeth
her beautiful naked
body takes me in
and shows a lonely
soul what i’ve been
missing all these
years
in reality,
she asks me to pick
up my mouth from
the floor
her piercing eyes
laughing
she shows me a little
leg and makes sure
to walk away just
slowly enough
so, i’ll never be able
to forget it
every second of your time
her soft brown
skin glistens
with sweat
her smile is
every dirty
thought that
has ever graced
the tip of your
tongue
when you’re
lucky
she’ll show you
right where you
can put that tip
her eyes look
dangerous
nearly half your
age and worth
every second
of your time
let the muse take
you by the hand
and remember
to say yes
