The Lowly Sighs of Exasparation

The door is open, unlocked

freshly scrubbed and sober

subtle hints

of amber and lavender

Maybe you warrant this

and maybe you do not

what exactly is my higher purpose?

besides wallowing away on this cot

And you can go rot

if this is another ploy

'you're my boy'

high time to be annoyed

Supposed to be budding partners

through thick and thin

to the highest of highs

to the lowly sighs of exasperation

S**t stains on the bed sheets

stains on the couch

the explosion in the bathroom

can't take much more

Waited far too long

to watch it all go wrong

still putting forth my best effort

no call to throw down and cowardly desert
