listen aphrodite

[betteroffbad]

listen aphrodite don't
tell me to keep calm i won't
I'll thrash and sputter like the sea
I'll beg on shin and palm and knee

listen i don't think it's right
you galactic glisten-bright
say she'll one day want to woo me
ditey what good does that do me

if you told her in the future
how I used to strangleroot her
with the tendrils of my dreaming
she would probably start screaming

just like me in rank frustration
thinking how the contemplation
of her used to drive me batshit
till I lately gave up that shit

time's a rotten plate tectonic
keeping lovers' crises chronic
leaving us forever thirsty
aphrodite please have mercy
