Pig Turned Adonis

I wasn’t so in love I couldn’t see
the fact that you were not the one for me.

I wasn’t so in love that I was blind
to all the twisted facets of your mind

and all the warnings why we shouldn’t do it
and all the reasoning that I would rue it.

I wasn’t so in love I didn’t get
the fact that you were hideous, and yet

you had a lovely face when lying back.
Pig turned Adonis when you hit the sack.
