White Trash Replacement

Love it like that

I bet you love it like that-
can't even believe what it would be like,
Dream about it while you're awake
construct it while you sleep&;#8230;
The way that you want it should be.
The way you figure it never could.

The tattooed hair sprayed harlot
in the 3-size-too small jeans
and the Payless heeled boots.
She's so wrong-
not anything like you&;#8230;
but you love it like that.

You want to pull her hair
and make her scream your name
while you fuck her doggy style
smacking her on her ass.
It's so NOT you,
but you love it like that

You take her kids out for ice cream
and remember what is was like
to only buy dinner for two
when baggage meant your briefcase
your laptop and an overnight bag
but you love it like this

Reminding yourself why you're there,
you walk thru the knee-deep pile of toys
to where she stands in the kitchen
cooking up some hamburger helper for dinner.
You don't really like hamburger helper
but you love her like that.

Waking from a deep sleep
to the cry of her toddler son,
you see her silhouette in the moonlight
as she rushes to his side.
You're reminded of the one she made that baby with,
but you have to love her like that.

Watching her put on her makeup
You think about her&;#8230;
The one whom you'd replaced.
The one that didn't wear lipstick,
and didn't curl her hair,
but you loved it like that.
