call me a cynical old bat

if you tell me i'm lovely,
i'll never believe you.
perhaps you should just call me smart.

if you say i'm your dream girl,
i'll just be annoyed.
do better to get to my heart.

if you try flattery on me,
i'll probably leave you.
pretty words are confusing at best.

if we talk for a while,
i could be your best friend.
someday, time might do the rest.

  1. This is lovely.
    I wouldn't dream of calling you a cynical old bat, even if you were Carolyn.

    2. XD Thanks. I think it helps that I listen to it whenever I'm sad, you know?
