Hideous
I smoke too much,
And I drink too,
And I look at you from across the room.
I used to know you,
You used to know me too,
Was it that past that changed?
Or was it the present, and the morning dew
I’m so used to waking up to in the morning, through and through
And thoroughly dismembered.
The minute’s pass,
Some pass quick, some, slow,
In an ungodly manner,
I lift my drink to my lips and I sip my liquid charm.
‘You used to have fine arms, what happened?’
‘I had a misfortunate accident with some ink and some needles, you don't like it?’
‘No, not much…’
So we sit there in silence,
And I stare at my glass,
Twisting it in a cyclical fashion with my hand,
Blowing smoke in your general direction,
With a downward infliction
And I’m not too sure of what to say.
Adrift in my mind are a few plays I used to know,
So I put on that jolly good show that,
Inevitably failed.
I spoke of memories past,
Like that time we were on the grass,
And sitting on some pebbles and rocks,
Outside a magnificent castle, but
We didn’t realize the unspeakable scenery that embraced us.
We were, extremely drunk, and I made a bad joke that one time,
I’m really never funny when I try, but, god damn it I did my best,
So you let me unbutton your vest, and you bit my hairless chest
And I did what I thought was kissing, and you told me that I kept missing the Right spots
And, I thought nothing of you at the time,
And at the time I was foolish,
But you did really teach me how to kiss.
And yes we were both ugly,
And we were both young,
And now we sit here at this bar, I’m drinking rum
And you’re having some lemon water,
You were always destined to be a martyr
So I just can’t help but laugh in the back of my mush.
I give you one last look, I think I liked you more when you were hideous,
Vicious thoughts to myself,
But I seem to have thought out loud,
Your glass goes to my face,
I must admit I’m not too proud, but it was funny,
And we both laughed,
Or maybe just me,
So I walked out of the bar and into the cold city.
