AN ODE TO A CORRUPT HEART

August 24th, 2010 by Ivory Simonw.

Oh, to have a corrupt heart, unprincipled and wild,

is what I truly crave–if only for awhile.

To seek not love but pleasure first. To give short shrift to those I hurt.

To lie and cheat without regret, to abandon all self-respect.

Then, my dear, I’d play to win, the twisted game we’re mired in.

When you’d look me in the eye to tell me the clever lie: “I love you!”

I’d smile and sweetly coo: “I love you, too, Boo.”
