.
she was writing about men like you
before you were born and isn't fooled
by your under construction sad story
y'want her to believe
you can be one of the club~
that your personality
runs on diesel
burning tyres
and butchered dolphins
y'inner child
is that fucken devil kid
from The Omen
y'feminine side
is Grendel's mother
bloody
that y'sensitive side
is an Echidna's arse
and your only vulnerability
a box of porn
y'don't bother to hide
all that well
in your room
that you've seen some shit
that you've been through shit
an' that y'hate women
'cause they're shit
y'want her to believe that
so that you can believe
that
y'look more like a cage fighter
than a poet
someone said this to you once
and you've held onto it
like a security blanket statement
but just being sad and bitter
missing sex an'
getting upset when people
don't reply to your texts
doesn't make you a hard cunt
she knows you are not a hard cunt
can see the un-hugged mass
y'try cleaving back
when shaving your scalp
sees the softness tense
in the way you sit and says:
you're just a visitor here
mate
one who will not stay long
you will go back
to the good soul
will re-find your smile
and save the children
or whatever it is y'do for a livin'
y'wanna argue back
show and tell
y'scars and fuck'n teethmarks
but you also
wanna believe her
so hard
when she says
you will be alright
flicks her cigarette
like punctuation
to clear the air
after that pronouncement
yeah you'd love
to flick one away one
too
but can't
don't have one
y'don't smoke
never have
I mean, why would ya
y'know...
that shit's bad for you
