On Your Ass  

there is no fire in your eyes
there is a belly full of alcohol though
and you boyfriend's hand
on your ass
i want to stop the world
from turning
to pit you against an eternal darkness
to see if you implode
you would kick my ass at chess
but i am driven enough to know
your youth
is my burden
and that last meeting
where i was so cold
was ineveitable
because of your ignorance
in not returning my calls
was it a waste of time even calling you?
yes
because your youth
is my burden
and i am driven enough to know
a raw deal
and a good one
your inactions are the raw one
my drive the good
by the way
i can't look at my semi-lonely life
as a raw or good deal
it just has to be
in order for my drive
and the fire in MY eyes
to continue
pray
that we don't meet again
for if we do
i will knock you on
the same place
where your boyfriend's hand is
