So, I invoked the Bro Code
sworn to silence
nothing ever happened
just swallowed a load

No, it never quite happened
a year long crush
gone sourly wrong
not falling for that romantic mush

Under the guise of alcohol
the perfect martini
in a name brand bottle
emotions gone full throttle

She gave him permission
then went back on her word
misguided intuition
into realms of the absurd

Don't play those games
pull up or out
don't feign innocence
hiding behind a wall of doubt...
