One night stands
never did me any good.
But I never was one to gamble.
My heart is clingy
And my lips
never forget.
That's hard to admit.
Your name sounded like sugar once.
Now it's yucky like burnt toast
And common like a cold.
A sneeze in the face.
No jam can save this joke.
A bitter mouthful,
A sour state of mind.
I'm a wingless angel,
dirty and damp
lying on my back.
You're a dead stiff dog
Who barks like a wolf
but we both know the truth.
And that's hard to admit.
