Ahhh the pitfalls of the younger man: adorable, delicious, dangerous, but heartbreaking! There is actually a real story behind this little verse…hehe. Enjoy! Love and peace.
Out of Gas Out of Love
Where did you come from?
Crazy boy,
running out of gas –
out of love.
Time remembered.
Time forgotten.
Is it safe to even have you on the street?
In my arms?
Memory…
Intoxicating.
Intoxicated.
Four beers into it,
walking,
laughing,
in the middle of the night.
Crazy boy!
Time to clean that shit up!
But don’t mess with the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup
it’s “better than sex”
Now – MOVE INTO THE CAR!
Fill her tank up,
but just a little…
just enough to get you home
safe,
back into my arms.

L'amour et Psyche by Francois Edouard Picot, 1817, tells the story of Cupid and Psyche. In the Greek mythological story, Cupid would leave every morning before Psyche woke from her sleep. Psyche's outstretched arm shows the space where Cupid would have been sleeping, however he leaves her in the morning. A great depiction of the complexities of love, status and family. "The angel looks back at the sleeping beauty with a goodbye glance– the older cupid teaching us that love, if anything, is fleeting, and you never know when you’ll wake up and your arm will be outstretched around nothing."
