You must enter a title for your poem about lebsians! (Ode) by OnTheOtherHand
On the subway, treking home from the bar,
a pretty young girl set of my gaydar
so I chose a seat with a clear veiw
and she gave me a look that said "If you only knew"
but I fumbled my return some where between the mouth and the brow
and I'm still trying to figure out just quite how
but it said something more like
"I find you disgusting you dyke"
pretty much pushing her off and making her walk
all the while only wishing to talk
and so that night I went home alone
with not so much as a name in my phone
and I poured myself a glass of wine,
though I confess I was already liquored up fine,
put on music slightly sadder than my mood
and went to sleep in the nude
The next morning found me awake
only twelve hours after day break
with burnt toast and cold eggs
and unrelenting visions of her legs
matched only by those from the night's rest
of me laying upon her brest
but those were lost by time I was up
sinking quickly like the coffee grounds in my cup
replaced by thoughts of the words I should have said
and how their lack was matched in my bed
