Stuck On Stupid

(To LK)

Fractured heart longing for repair
The only remedy for pain is love
I reach out, take another leap
Willingly follow him down a path to nowhere
Falling short I earn more scars
Validation
That love is not meant for me
He seems so sweet
That somewhat innocent smile
Makes me laugh
Says the right things
Gives me those damned butterflies
I let him curl my toes and I curl his
But no matter, he tells me he’s going home to someone else
He’s not sure he wants
But he knows he doesn’t want to get real with me
Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to lead you on
Sounding like that old Cherrelle song
But you didn’t ask– as I aggressively pursued you– if I had someone in my life
Oh and by the way, she’s planning to be my wife
It’s always the woman’s fault, didn’t you know?
Not for not asking the questions but for falling for bullshit once again
Just stuck on stupid
Once again, I am
Stuck
On
Stupid
