Rant
Joshua Richard
I don't want to be another fool
Like all the others fallen for you
In the years before I came
But I pour on as molasses
So thick in your throat you jump boat
To wash me from your mouth and to the sea
Shame for me again a shamed mistake
A bleeding h-heart right from the start
An idealistic view of everyone new
Forgotten again out of fear when I declare
You're a queen in jeans
A modern masterpiece in floral threads
A possibly complete heartache for me
To whisk away in a romantic decay
Of stale 'lost love' thoughts
old names replaced
with a new girl, Ms. What's-her-face
And out to sea you'll stay
And another to take my reserved space
Fair enough to come around
as I fall in love so frequently
you're another temporary true love:
my only redeeming romantic trait.
