House Boat

I watched her dance from across the hall
She was alone with a crowd of friends
Just twirling away the night
She wasn't really anything special until I saw the way her hair complimented her eyes
I didn't even mind much when she put on a pair of sunglasses
That were entirely too big for those cheekbones
But can you blame a girl for trying to be fashionable?
I swayed over to her feeling buzzed on cheap alcohol
And let myself enjoy a false confidence
The song on the jukebox got louder
It was one of those songs that you always hated
Yet somehow fit the moment
So she took my hand and whispered something in my ear
And we dashed to the bathroom
Kissed each other something dirty
Nothing sweet, nothing pure
Using each other solely for the feeling of something different
I could taste the salt in her sweat rolling off her breasts
And we fucked until it didn't hurt anymore
And we fucked each other until we were inspired.

I'm Giving Up On You

One day the lion and the zebra left to woods
To get a drink of water by the lake
He knew how quenching the liquid is
But she had never tasted it
And on the other side was the snake
Who said "pssst come here dear zebra, would you like to be my friend?"
The lion knew snakes were not to be trusted
But the zebra fell for the allure of something new
So quietly the lion objected, but his love for her told him to wish her the best
She pranced to the other side and ate fruit and danced with the snake
The fun left the zebra confused enough to tell the lion
"Go. I love you but this life I live leaves me lusting for more,
You've grown numb to me and I'm afraid I love you
But only in words, not in heart"
So as the lion walked away with his mane pointed towards the ground
The snake sneaked up behind the zebra as she quickly closed her eyes
And cuddled her up and bit her soft, beautiful neck
Filled her full of venom
And without the lion for as long as she would live.
