Neon

He’s fucked me up the arse
He’s pulled out every trick
His body smells of sweat
He salivates and licks

Another one night stand
Another rancid dick
Another cheap pick-up
I’m feeling rather sick

So then the morning comes
I mumble a goodbye
Repulsion overwhelms me
I smile at him and lie

So I stagger out
Out of his front door
I make it to the street
And vomit on the floor

So then I make it home
And for a while pretend
That I will not repeat
The chapter’s reached an end

So the cycle spins
The pleasure and the pain
and as the darkness falls
The neon wins again
