To the Scarecrow
What are you even,
Aiming for?
When you “Hey Girl!” me,
in the middle of the morning?
Nevermind the raw of my lips
or the ring on my finger
Marking me for loved.
Never mind me entirely,
But, who falls for that?
What kind of girl can convince herself that
Your confidence
And complete lack of her name
is love?
or even like?
or even interest in anything other than
touching her a**?
How did you miss the fact that
even if you find one of “those girls”
You wouldn’t want each other. Because
What she needs
is compassion
And what you need
is a lesson
On how your cat calls
Aren’t getting anyone anywhere
Save for a dark alley
In the middle of the night.
