The Bartender (at the GBTS)

when we first met
you took me by surprise
but i wondered why it took you
so long to say you liked my eyes.
later i met you, again
still waiting for you to want me–
all the way back then.

then–you took me back to your place,
said you’re killer to fuck.
so i guess we’ll fuck.

but baby, i’m cool by the way
if you never loved me, i’ll still love you
cuz i’m sure i loved you, all day
i keep rhyming, see i can’t find my timing,
around you, by the way.
I keep laughing, it’s all i do in passing,
the time with you, all day.
see now i’m all the way up,
can’t see the ground
i swear the other girls–
they’ll never bring me down.

I’m always calming voices
in my head
the ones who only
want me dead
they say,
“you’ll never love me
i’ll never be loved!
you’re so far above me
i’ll never be loved”

but one day, you took me back to your place,
said you’re killer to fuck.
so i guess we’ll fuck.

so baby, i’m cool by the way
if you never loved me, i’ll still love you
cuz i’m sure i loved you, all day
i keep rhyming, see i can’t find my timing,
around you, by the way.
I keep laughing, it’s all i do in passing,
the time with you, all day.
see now i’m all the way up,
can’t see the ground
i swear the other girls–
they’ll never bring me down.

you said you’d always be there,
but i know that you lie.
then you slipped your hand between my thighs.
parted my lips with your tongue.
told me i was “the one”.
so well, umm,
i wanted to tell you that–

baby, i’m cool by the way
if you never loved me, i’ll still love you
cuz i’m sure i loved you, all day
i keep rhyming, see i can’t find my timing,
around you, by the way.
I keep laughing, it’s all i do in passing,
the time with you, all day.
see now i’m all the way up,
can’t see the ground
i swear the other girls–
they’ll never bring me down.

in all the ways, i love you.
and you will always be–
my lover
the great,
leo the sagittarius,
and that man that i hate.
and
the bartender I loved at the gay bar that’s straight.
