I stole these words

By silentninja

I stole these words
Black and white text
In hope of attracting the opposite sex
My cologne is where I place my bets

And yet it hurts
Because I don't want sex
I just drink away my best
I can't let go just yet
I am at my worst
I look like a wreck
As I stare at your breasts
I'm just a beast.

Then at half past three
I hide a breaking heart
Within covers of dark
I stole these words
From a dictionary

I just wonder where you are?
Do you think of me?
Are you very far? Am I in your heart?
