You never said that I was too well, you only said you didn't want to fall back in love.
Too cliche for your own good.
You actually stood outside my window with a boombox playing our song.
Does anyone ever do that?
You must've been crazy to fall hard for a girl like me.
A cut-up queen, your favorite mistake, and worst nightmare.
I've been putting the whore back in horrible since 1988.
Did you suddenly think that you could change me?
This is who I am.
I listen to loud music && I love a stiff drink.
I love my boys && my boys love me.
I'm sorry you're jealous, but my friends are my family, there's nothing that I wouldn't do for them, that they wouldn't do for me.
I do love you, really I do.
You know you'll always be my first love, and my last goodbye.
But until you get your life straightened out.
I'm gonna go out drinking with my boys && make some mistakes.
But I'll forever be fatally yours.

Wow. That was amazing. I left me speechless about what to sat for this poem. You worded it well, I couldn't find any uneasy areas or areas where the words didn't quite fit. It was wonderful. It was set out well and it flowed beautifully.
A cut-up queen, your favorite mistake, and worst nightmare.
I've been putting the whore back in horrible since 1988.
Those lines really did it for me and I loveeed every word you wrote after those two lines and all the lines before those too.
Thanks for entering.
