Brain Washing

 

Better Late Than Never...

 

but never is a place

I'm too scared to go

all the in-betweens

give me panic attacks

 

Once you called me

an in-between

and I took offense

 

If I can't be the best

I better be the worst

 

I've met so many women

who claim to read men

like directions to the nearest

gas station

 

All I can read are the instructions

on your clothing

wash in warm water, gentle cycle, hand dry

 

So let's come clean

If your kind of love is

brainwashing

then my brain

was dirty,

it needed a rinse.
