Least Loved
Least loved, soonest offended,
An affair that upped and ended,
Leaving dust mites in the throat,
Tears that filled and sank the boat.
Least loved, quickest distraction,
To some fatal-type attraction,
For some floozy in a bar,
With extra wonder in her bra.
Least loved, fastest recover,
Nailing up another lover,
Sort of shallow and neurotic,
Blonde and bubblegum erotic.
Least loved, it doesn’t matter,
There’s no cod inside the batter,
No substance only style,
But at least it raised a smile.
Least loved, once more with feeling,
It may be crass and unappealing,
But I would rather feel like this
Than face reality’s abyss.
Least loved, for that is me,
She made it plain and clear to see,
Bring on a string of one night stands
To prove that I am still a man.
Least loved, the saddest fact,
This macho image just an act,
And all I am, if truth be told,
A sad and lonely human soul.
Least loved, there’s no forgiving,
For this shell that keeps on living,
Despite resolve and force of will,
Oh God, I want and love you still.
