My favorite nymphomaniac
My apathetic animal
On Thorazine, breathing loud,
Licking bread crumbs from your upper lip,
Spaghetti sauce spilt on your chin,
A helicopter tongue to spin in circles consuming everything
Oh I was in your wake; a drunken kid on summer break
And how many years will bloom from this?
I got your name tattooed on my wrist
Let’s pretend we’re nihilists
Let’s twist and sleep in tangled sheets
Till august; sad and jobless
Swimming naked in your neighbors pool felt so productive and so cool
And I wanted you but kept my mouth shut
Baby I wanted you and you just wanted everyone but
This is where my patience ends
You’ve gone to bed with all my friends
And do they mean as much as I mean to you?
My name’s tattooed on your wrist too
And violence was the latest trend
So violently you called to me
And from shadows I emerged
And others came to imitate our squeezing fists, our bulging veins
In violence we found warmth
Ten thousand “I love yous” disguised in jealous fits of rage
Oh sticks and stones may break my bones
But your words are meaningless and crude
You hate the girls I bring around
That must mean you feel something too
