Lågstadievänligt.

Syftar på glassen. And I was neither hungover nor high when I wrote this, I just discovered how much I love "If.." poems. Because they are so silly and easy. And stupid. And I apologize in advance för de pornografiska inslagen. I hope you don't mind, but the warning is here so if you don't want to read it, don't read on. And yes, it is supposed to create a "wtf" reaction.



If I had a heart
I would buy you an ice cream,
my dear
My mouth
is on your dick trying to satisfy
But your heart will not melt
Like the ice creams I buy,
my heroin


*


And I drink more than ever
Happy, confused, but alone
And I was talking about you today
And I drink more than ever
But there is not much left to say
The lies are comforting
And I drink more than ever
Happy, confused, but alone


*


If my thoughts were a playground
It would murder children
If your lungs were mine
I would breathe in nitrous oxide
If ice cream was free
I wouldn’t be here now

You've got me wtf:ing at least, but I like that. :D I am a little too tired to comprehend exactly what you mean, but longing and want seem to be rather logical themes to extract.

I also need a shoutout for the lines:
"And I drink more than ever
Happy, confused, but alone"
I like them. Like them a lot actually. Nicely done.

Quite correct, it's all about longing. As Doktor Glas, I have a tendency to fall in love with dreams, not reality. And that one "drink more than ever" is also a triolett. So the iteration is effectful yes. And thank you for your comment =)

You got me wtf-ing as well, in a good way. I like the last stanza especially, for some reason. "If my thoughts were a playground / It would murder children..."

I thought of Katie in "Horton hears a Who" (amazing movie btw, you all gotta see it). She is cute but psychotic. She stands there looking like an angel and just all of a sudden does the most random thing ever that is slightly scary. Amazing. She is a cuddly furry ball that would scare the shit out of children.
