I Can't Put You Down
A Poem for Lovers and Decision Makers
I was told by many
That you’re the carrier of the current apathy
And so I was sent here
By an existential force
To cut you off from spreading your own problems onto my time
So therefore, it’s time for you to go.
But now that I’m here
I see how sweet you can be
You’re so sweet, you’re mind-fucking me
Goddamn, if you ain’t so sweet that you make salt taste just like sugar.
Sweet and sour
I can’t devour even if it seduces me
I will never let something use me or abuse me
And in turn, I will never take advantage of it or fuck it up in any shape, form, or fashion.
But after listening to that existential voice in my head
I’ve gained a new perspective, a new viewpoint
And now, with all the tainted thoughts erased from my cerebrum
I have a moment of clarity.
But my moment of clarity will not be blurred by your stupidity
Just because you want me to put her down, but I can’t because
I’m attracted to her and I’ve fallen in love with her
To you, she's a cunt, but if you talk to her,
You’ll find out what the fuck is going on in her head
Then, maybe you’ll see that she doesn’t want you dead!
