My favorite quote from the movie "Amelie"--"Clam it failure! (whistling from higher to lower registers)"--applies to me and failed writers everywhere.
THE REST OF IT GOES HERE
True as a Glass of Beer
Honesty feels less miserable than other shit
When I want to pretend I have a girlfriend
I wash your dishes and water your plants.
I should’ve rehearsed my love affairs starting with the first
My friendships are true as a glass of beer
They don’t need a second or third take to take.
Love is like the cusp of drunkenness
If I cross the threshold and get trashed it’s ruined
Love is a sweet buzz but it comes with a warning
Don’t get another drink. If I leave her presence
And return changed she’ll be changed and it’s over
So I’ll live for ten minutes and taste her sweetness
So at least I can mourn the tale I haven’t yet told
