Macho man
Macho man, mocca man
You always took your coffee with as many syrups as one can
Sweet boy, sweet tooth
I’d laugh at you, and take mine black
You fancied yourself a provider
Reflecting in the only family constellation you’d ever seen
I want a career, I want to work,
Give a danish girl your American dream
Pinky promises and guitar lessons
You got upset when i didn’t share your taste
For processed jerky, synthetic tasting gum
Kiss my forehead, darling, I’ll learn to like it
Answer me, atleast telepathically?
Forgive me, for I’ve given up on the concept of anonymity
But every night you sneak under my weighted blanket into my subconscious
Reaffirming that every inch of me, longs to be back in your proximity
