Dysfunction Dance
Lianna Bousquet
I let my sweet psychotic
swallow me
whole, like an antibiotic
Love it when he says I’m his, “cup of tea”
I stay sweet
when he’s tart
would never retreat
from my sweetheart
My dear,
always gets another, “last chance”
As he holds me near
and we do our dysfunction dance
sometimes wonder why I manage,
then remember, he’s worth every bit of the damage.
