they say that true love
alters not, though
alteration finds
and you may seek it like
a star
that guides a wandering
ship, o
they're goddam right sometimes,
from the day you lose your
fkkn mind
and your friends think you started
smoking crack
doesn't ever take a drive
and not come back,
that it stays and sleeps
on your couch
makes a smell you can't
track down in
your closet.
True love, that worrisome
thing, itching like a cast
on your broken arm,
turning it weak and white and skinny
It's a wingman that farts
in a crowded bar
blaming it on you
I'll name it Chet or Chase
or Halston
because those are douchebag names
that always has to have the last laugh.
Oh true love, you
blind drunk bastard,
lead me around,
scrawling idiotic titles and
penises on my face with
your sharpie
vaguely sticky to the touch
naked and reeking of tequila
in the most embarrassing of places
True love, I want to stop being your
bitch
because i always end up being
the one who has
to eat the soggy cracker,
but a bro is a bro
and your hot promise whispers of success end up
with someone else getting laid
in a way they can be proud of, and
me hoping for a
reacharound at least.
