Trickster

Your cherry ship-sinking lips,

Your mischievous hips,

Assassin's body,

Say you've slipped in to slay.

Into my life you walk,

Singing Joan Jett's rock,

One look,

I want to drown in your wake.

Something novel and new,

Clearly poisonous, true,

Event horizon and I'm flying,

Nothing left I can do.

You've got bad news written,

All over you,

I want to read it and then be it,

You're so long overdue.

Oh.

You're something new to me,

I can see you're here to fuck me up.

Your arrival is timed to necessity,

But while you're here,

Times are gonna be tough.

Wreck my life?

Fuck, it's already wrecked,

When you're done here,

I'll be higher than my own bounced checks,

There's no need to worry,

It's not just meaningless sex,

Destroy me and then build me up,

For future success.

Stacking the decks,

Cadillacs into wrecks,

Spine broken, rebuilt stronger,

With titanium flecks.

Standing tall at the end,

Of a downward trend,

Now you hate me, and I hate you,

Bridges burned, don't pretend.

Oh.

You're something new to me,

I can see you're here to fuck me up.

Your arrival is timed to necessity,

But while you're here,

Times are gonna be tough.
