— Schuyler Peck, Can’t Get Enough Of My Love 

[text ID: You were my second lover. You had dark eyes and hair, like a painting of a man. We lay on our stomachs reading books in your bed. I e-mailed my professor. I will be absent from French Novel due to sickness. You put on some piano music. Even though it was winter, we had to keep the window open day and night, the room was so hot, the air so dry it made our noses bleed. With boots we trekked through slush for a bottle of red wine we weren’t allowed to buy, our shirts unbuttoned under our winter coats. The French language distinguishes between the second of two and the second of many. Of course we’d have other lovers. Snow fell in our hair. You were my second lover. Another way of saying this: you were the other, not another.]

Don’t sing love songs, you’ll wake my mother. She’s sleeping here right by my side And in her right hand a silver dagger, She says that I can’t be your bride. “All men are false”, says my mother, “They’ll tell you wicked, lovin’ lies. The very next evening, they’ll court another, Leave you alone to pine and sigh.” My daddy is a handsome devil He’s got a chain five miles long, And on every link a heart does dangle Of another maid he’s loved and wronged. Go court another tender maiden, And hope that she will be your wife, For I’ve been warned, and I’ve decided To sleep alone all of my life.
