21 a Game of Bout-Rhimes

I often think back to when we alignedOh sugar, how you made me feel so sweetYou’re everything, I’m only a treatWhen we are together you’re resignedI’m always too anxious, I can’t unwindYou are the one, but I’m one in the fleetI cling like babies looking for a teatI was obsessed, but you never consignedWhy can’t love just be like romcom’s portrayI might drown in the bottom of the glassI can’t forget the taste, sweet like kumquat.Now you dig for what’s left in the ashtrayIt’s been clean for years now, so don’t harassMe, and your chances have been long since shot
