You Know I'm No Good

by xToBeWithYoux   Jan 19, 2009


Hanging stilettos on the door as I pass,
reaching for yet another glass,
curtains still drawn at half twelve.
Again, under the covers we delve.

Blurry memories of boozy nights,
spitting in faces and beer fueled fights.
Tears streaming down my face,
I must have looked a disgrace.

Boyfriends come and boyfriends go,
time flies by, time goes slow.
Bone by bone, I am exposed,
growing smaller, unopposed.

You're the one that shouts a lot,
ignorance yearns for another shot.
Riding a wave of ecstatic wonder
for my drink; he doesn't thunder.

Why, oh why, do you give a damn?
You're just another two-faced man.
Shouting and moaning all the time,
I'm begging for another dime.

You're trying to find me some advice,
I'm pouring more whiskey over the ice.
You say to me "You're misunderstood",
I explain "You know I'm no good".

    A enjoyable piece to read, your rhyming was flawless and you really drew me into this piece. I loved how descriptive your word were, 5/5 from me. Keep writing, always and forever....

    Some of the characters are unrecognized, might wanna edit it out, because it shows up a bunch of weird things. :]
    This had nice rhyme, really interesting perspective.
    I find the depth sort of lacking though. It needs a little background, some sort of story behind the drunken nights and no good time.
    The style drew me in. This part sounds a little childish but yet I really like it.
    "Boyfriends come and boyfriends go,
    Time flies by, time goes slow.
    Bone by bone, I am exposed,
    Growing smaller, unopposed."
    The stereotypes sort of...bring to my attention that this has a type of narrow-minded opinion to it.
    Overall, a pretty good piece.
    :]
