Bukowski Haunts Me

Bukowski Haunts Me

The truth is rebellion leaves men ugly

the hands are scarred

begging for someone to hold them

just once more

for the most part he's forgotten how to see beauty

and you, so absolutely perfect

why do you think it's okay to come around

it's never been okay for a woman like you

to come around shaking her ass

flaunting gods cruel sense of humor

we get it, I get it

whore, I digress

fuck my life's a fuckin' mess

one drink is never enough

endless woes ensue the shit storm of

every defeated battle fought on

behalf of love

bar after bar

barred from self

left with wisdom too true

to gain him or him or me relief

one drink follows another

hours become days

I don't care much for tact these days

these days

i've all but lost my taste for charm

all I see is loss

I can't love a woman

so I fuck them

and maybe one day

i'll slowly wane

or quickly

as long as the joke is on me

and the drinks
