Pitfalls of Love

Everytime you invite me over to your place, its the same. You watch TV while I sit on your couch with shoes and jacket still on. You fall asleep and then I will myself numb. I say, "I guess I should go now."

I stand and walk, nose first, into your front door. I walk right through it. Nose broken, forehead bleeding, fat lip. Splinters have scratched a red border all around my body. I plod on.
Halfway down the hall is a large glass pane. It has letters stencilled on it: "Warning: Glass Pane." Another reads...I walk right through it.

I am cut. Bleeding. Glass settles to the ground, shards vie for my attention. A piece of stencilled glass lands in my shirt pocket. I pull it out and read, "...ass." I put it back in my pocket.

Now, you poke your head out of your door and say, "drive carefully." I nod my head and fail to see elephant trunks reaching up and sniffing the air at my feet.

??????What??????No Links?????????This cannot be..... Original Thought.......!!!!! ?????? ......Unfortunately, not enough has be written on the on the hazards of drunken love denied save only drunken love fulfilled and then denied; which only remotely pales when juxtaposed with drunken love fulfilled and yet not remembered and subsequently denied. Any way...I'm glad you made up with the guy from the gym.
