Trash

he left

her a

bouquet of

pink roses

to say

thank you

for the pussy

but she

was hoping

for pancakes

with extra

strawberry syrup

this isn’t

a metaphor

she was

hoping for

breakfast

rather than

flowers that

have no

purpose other

than to

just wilt

and die

like the

promises

you never

kept
