writing you this

I'm writing you this
But my reasons are purely self-centered
I'm writing you this
Because I'm trying hard to impress
My CV on your desk is still a clean slate, pink and scented
You haven't seen the ghosts I keep
I've killed my referees and hid them in the basement.
You can't check on me by spying.
But you can check on me by asking
Because I really want to tell you these things.

I'm writing you this
But my excuses are thin
I'm writing you this
But I'm still debating whether I should send it
Subtlety has always been my game I keep losing
And obviously this is very subtle
As much as a purple cow in a slaughterhouse is subtle
I don't know much about slaughterhouses
Though I'm no hippie vegetarian
I don't even know if this is out of line
Or if rudeness suits you just fine
I am suddenly craving for cliche and rhyme
But I'm not sure if it's cool or just plain cheesy, let's wine dine blind.

I'm writing you this
Because this beats not talking.
