“Screw you, lover boy.”

“Screw you, lover boy.”

I’ve said it in my head so many times

◊

You break my heart each midnight

& come to mend it again each noon

I’m so sick of the same old song and dance

and you have been given chance after chance

but you refuse to learn a different tune

Now I’ve lost the will and the desire to fight

◊

See, you’ve tied me up and hung yourself

with the very same length of rope

I’m finally standing up for myself

“Forgive you?” This time, it’s a nope!

◊

“Screw you, lover boy.”

You’ve finally crossed my lines
