Haven't done one of these in awhile
I have finally put myself
On a much needed diet
It is of my own creation
And like all diets
It takes patience
But unique to itself
It requires no rations in the food department
Rather a steady intake
Of beautiful girls and idiosyncratic personalities
And a steady output of love poems
See, last year I swallowed my heart and gained thirty pounds
And I know that sounds impossible
But when you let fear of rejection
Lead to bottled up affection
Your heart gets heavier and heavier and heavier
But I'm on that diet
So there's no risk of cardiac digest this year
And I'm starting to realize why diets are so hard to stay on
Cause as beautiful as you are
And as easy as the love poems come
I'm finding it difficult to put your name at the top
And it's not that I'm afraid of rejection
Just afraid of becoming too experienced in it
Cause I've been it
The friend that no one can afford to lose by dating
And I'm masquerading as the friend who understands that explanation
Having the conversation where I say that we should just go forward
When awkward is the only word to describe it
But I guess diet is all about will power
And I'm willing to avoid that dialogue with you at all costs
So I'm breaking my promises
And I'm bingeing on flirting
And even though my ribcage is hurting
From the recent expansion
Her smile makes me drunk
And her laugh continues the inebriation
As I escape the contemplation
Of the pain I will feel in the morning
From everything I've left to hangover
It's funny when people ask me if I've ever had sex
Because I'm doing a pretty good job of fucking myself
Because I wanted to leave exercise out of it
But my heart beats faster every time I see you
And it's forcing me to heartburn my fat
And my acid reflux
Repeats
The same way the bad taste in my mouth stays
When I forget to say that I am not a long distance runner
But my heart will sprint for your finish line
Cause I can only give you the assurance
That my lack of endurance
Will not stop my heart from running for you
And if it's true that this organ lives in a man's stomach
My digestive system is going to get damn lonely
As it leaves me in the dust
Chasing after you
And if you ever have trouble sleeping in your chambers
My heart has four
And you can stay there anytime
On a much needed diet
It is of my own creation
