Poet's Worst Nightmare
You are a poet’s worst nightmare
The anxiety and fear take back seat to you
All of the anger and angst has been replaced with love and hope
And we’ve got a reputation to uphold
We can’t be happy
What would we write then
Love poems?
That shit doesn’t sell
How can I make a living when you are my living
My words have become soft
I no longer say fuck you
Unless I’m telling you what my plans are for tonight
You are a poet’s worst nightmare
But you are this poet’s wildest dream
The anxiety and fear take back seat to you
All of the anger and angst has been replaced with love and hope
And we’ve got a reputation to uphold
We can’t be happy
What would we write then
Love poems?
That shit doesn’t sell
How can I make a living when you are my living
My words have become soft
I no longer say fuck you
Unless I’m telling you what my plans are for tonight
You are a poet’s worst nightmare
But you are this poet’s wildest dream
