By Emmanuel Williams

*

I have so much power for this

I am clever, with wit

She knows I’m sick with it…

*

I’m a grand piano being played by a cheerleader

From Manga

No stranger

No danger 

No drama

*

Age 16 behind the wheel of a Hummer

An infant attempting a filibuster 

A pacifist behind the shotgun

*

I have so much power for this

I’ve been waiting so long

*

Preparing ambitiously

Brushing my hair

Dressing ridiculously 

*

Come to find out my baby don’t care

I’ve worn worse yet never looked

Better, to her

For her,

So, she loves me…

*

And must it be said for before

I was desperate, feeble, and weak

Her flaws now my abilities, liberties

What strength must I grieve?

*

All I can think of is

‘Where is our ice cream?’

Watch this rom/com with me!

Why aren’t we danciling?!

*

Give you my word

With finality

Fatality

A promise as well as a wish

*

To be true

Full with you

Through the blues

Buy new shoes

Past the pies

Off to the loo

For a snooze

For I have drank too much

Not enough of the stuff, though

For give me some more

*

I signed up, didn’t I?

We still get to fuck, right?
