one-night stand

Nothing as depressing

As a one-night stand

With pretty girls

You thought you craved

Until you learned

The sex was not that good

The reasons patriarchal

You would never make it personal

Your friends get stuck in jealousy

But never if they knew

how we push ourselves right to the brink

on which no sane man bears to stand

It’s all we do, for friends impressed

the cost is in our body
