You Should Be Afraid of Virginia Woolf...

The most imperfectly 
Compatible almost-couple…
Framed in unwanted proximity
Coated in fool’s gold
In worst case, we’ll hold onto each other forever
You’re always just a drink away
Along with every Honey that ever came by
You’ll end up on the bathroom floor
Crush the ice between your teeth
And smile as it melts in your mouth
Don’t provoke me
I’ll get you back, just you wait
Let’s invent a new game
‘Cause this is as good as it gets 
Baby, this is our fun
Someday you’ll sober up
But for now:
We’re Martha and George 
And I just killed our son.
