an I will always love you
is not necessarily a given
that you can always count on

with phrases like toxic masculinity
they should take a look in the mirror

will they ever end
maybe not until

they cheered and yelled hello hello hello
the UFOs flashed green lights at the group
incinerating them into ashes upon the ground

in case my home is not werewolf-proofed enough
I have holy water and wolfsbane just in case

I want a settled down indoorsy one
while an outdoorsy woman is roaming
my indoorsy one will be loving me

being with her was feeling good and right
but before things developed into a romance
I woke up and knew I’d never see her again

Simon’s mother always said to him
don’t count your chickens before they hatch
but since he didn’t have any chickens
he never paid any attention to her
