Sweet Laura

When I saw you/I thought what a knockout  
But you're above me/of my league you're out  
I wanted to/get to know you better  
But I'd never/make your pussy wetter  
You have your friends/informal social group  
What do I have/from taunts I recoup  
All I have to give/is my limerence  
I know I don't exist to you/I'm spent  
You finish partying/at six o'clock  
At that time I'm awake/glance at the clock  
Done your conquests/the company you keep  
Thinking of you/I'm unable to sleep  
Somewhere there's a lucky guy/just got laid  
While at six bells/awake in bed I wait  
After your shift/make plans to see people  
Aft' the cafe closes/I'm a creeple  
You've hosted many lovers/a true pro  
While I've had none/never been someone's beau  
You seem so worldly/full of wonder  
Compared to me/you'd have to play teacher  
It's a great fantasy/but not real  
You wouldn't want that role/break the deal  
You say you're awkward too/not unlike me  
But I'm so weird/could you relate to me?  
   
....  
   
Because of your nice skin/different world  
People are attracted/guys and girls  
Because of my deformities/a curse  
People are repulsed/want me in a hearse    
   
....  
   
You're so pretty/full of life and gorgeous  
I'm a fool to conceive/no equation  
No comparison/if we were to court  
You're too above me/difference not covert  
You have a life/of suitors way ahead  
While five years ago/I'm already dead  
In love anyway/no prospects for me  
And why would they/when they look with pity  
You have men lining up/to court you when  
I know if I tried a fool/hence my pen  
You probably engage/in lustful acts  
While I crave basic connection/can't hack  
You so socially conscious/go to meet  
Me so socially awkward/can't compete  
Just want to hold you/and smell your perfume  
But you wouldn't me/out I would gross you  
   
....  
   
Because of your nice skin/different world  
People are attracted/guys and girls  
Because of my deformities/a curse  
People are repulsed/want me in a hearse.
