The Boys No good
By Petra Creffield
The Boys No Good
Man-whore she said
She’s probably right
But I gave up listening to friends a long time ago
He doesn’t even know..
That a glimpse of knee-cap skin
Is enough to make me swim
For hours on a sea of fantasy.
The boy's no good
Oh! but I would.
Time and time again.
But I won’t make a move
It could only ever prove
To be a bad idea.
The dream is enough
Cotton clouds of powder-puff
Perfection.
Without the complication of a real relationship
Hopes a mile high
And the inevitability of a lie
Somewhere down the line.
