Excuses, Abuses Poem by Stefanie Fontker

'She stole my heart! '
You wail, boldly
Without a heart
You're rather cliché
Don't you think?
Even more so than me
And that's saying a lot
You must have
Eaten pop culture
For dinner last night
Seems like the best excuse
I'll be able to offer
In your place
But, don't cry!
It makes me uncomfortable
And it usually soils
The new white shirt
That I always seem to wear
When residing in your company
So, be strong!
If not for your sake,
Then for mine
Bake your new love cookies
Girls usually like that
Right? Or, a cake
Or write her a poem
No, wait, never mind
I've tried that
I’ve been trying it for years
Doesn't work very well
I don't know what to do
So here,
I'll go find another
To wear instead
I'll take off
My new white shirt
And place it over here,
Cry into it while I'm gone
