LAMENT
For real, this bitch will destroy me.
Gone through three of my kind already,
hellbent on breaking me, too,
leaving me in shards like the rest.
Smooth when I first entered her,
I’m rough now,
scratched and gouged
from her ruthless grinding,
I lay by her side of the bed,
dreading the soggy inferno
behind her lips,
brace myself to get through
another night,
guarding against
her darker instincts
while she ravages me,
biting as soon as I’m inside of her.
Why the fuck do I put up with it,
lay there and take her abuse?
Who’s the pussy here?
There’s got to be a way out of this.
Maybe I’ll finally crack
so she’ll ditch me for another,
let some new schmuck in her life
who’ll wear out inside of her,
night after night,
until the poor slob is a battered nub
like me,
bitching about the shit life
of a mouth guard.
