The Afternoon Fix

I wanted forever
You sat there and offered 'the best we can do right now.'

I needed completely
But you needed a fix

A fix of the real emotion
To mainline for the afternoon

The cheap plastic TV was blaring
The most appropriate backdrop. ‘MSNBC Geraldo Live’

If red is the color of love
Then your heart is cheap blinking neon 

‘Rooms by the hour‘.
24/7 American Express Accepted here.

Just like a damn junkie!
Selfish and demanding ...I need you now!...Hold me tighter!...Where were you!

Go ahead baby, push the plunger in all the way...go deep
Use my love til I hurt

Cause I know I'll be flushed with all the rest in the end
Shattered and you'll say 'But I really loved you'

And I'll say 'Fuck you very much'
While you go back to your husband.

And we all know you don't build mansions
Atop broken promises.

We all know but me.
