Where will we stop
When will this end
How long will you drive me
‘Round the bend
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Where will we stop
When will this end
How long will you drive me
‘Round the bend
He said that he
Would be back next week
As he packed a bag
And kissed my cheek
We can’t keep doing this
He said
Something has to change
I fear that our dynamic
She said
Is too hard to rearrange
Who was the worst
Me or you
Does it even matter
Who did what to who
Now we have both
Taken the fall
To still keep score
Really means fuck all
You said
You didn’t want me
So I had no choice
But to move on
If you’d made it clear
How you held me dear
Then your feelings
I wouldn’t have forgone
Do you still think of me, I wonder
Like I still think of you
Or ever since you moved away
Have your feelings gone astray
And now you just make do
I know that you can see me
And what I’m trying to do
How I’m trying to make you jealous
To score more points than you
Yet I know it doesn’t matter
Just how much I boast
Or how many fun time photos
That I consistently post
As even from here it’s clear to see
You’re still far happier without me
If only you’d ask
I would say yes
My undying love
I would confess
Alas it seems
I must somehow
Bide my time
At least for now
Leaping out of the frying pan
Headlong into the fire
Perhaps at the expense of love
But quenching my desire
Starting again
With eyes wide open
Less of a chance
Hearts will be broken
Even though I’ve lost
And she has won
I know your love
Will never be undone
In your room
I got undressed
As my body took over
And my heart left
Sometimes I wish I’d said yes
All those years ago
Perhaps if I had
It might well have gone bad
But at least now we’d know
If all I had to do
Was tolerate you
Then really
You should’ve just asked
It was when I thought
You wanted more
That I totally
Fucking cracked
We were friends
Before we were lovers
And that’s what I miss
The most
I can explain
He said
If you want to hear it
I don’t have time
She said
For anymore bullshit
I really thought you loved me
She said
But now I see it was a lie
Why were you so hard on me
He said
I was never a bad guy
Just because
What doesn’t kill me
Apparently
Makes me stronger
Doesn’t give you
An excuse
To hurt me
Any longer
I should have trusted you
She said
And let you through the wall
I didn’t try hard enough
He said
In fact I didn’t really try at all
Was it you
Or was it me
Who soldiered on
Too blind to see
That it was destined
To end like this
With us both falling
Into the abyss
I may have said
You were exceptional
But I’m afraid, my dear,
You were never quite
The exception
If you kiss me
Like that again
What happens next
Won’t be my fault
Our settings will be changed
Forever
And won’t be restored
To default
Okay, okay
I’ve heard you say
You never really loved me
Anyway
There’s no need
To rub it in
I was doing better alone
Then you came and messed with my head
So now I’ve got a different set of problems
To think about instead
There was a naughty boy
And that naughty boy was you
So now you’re a man
Don’t think that you can
All of your bad deeds undo
Why the fuck did we start this
He said
When we knew it would have to end
I guess now we’re no longer lovers
She said
We can never be friends
We left it all
At La Belle Aurore
So we needn’t say
Any more
There are skeletons in my closet
He said
But nothing complicated
That’s the problem with mine
She said
Most of them are naked
Why should I stay
He said
Because you won’t
Why should I care
She said
Because you don’t
Call me your sweetheart again
She said
And I’ll punch you in the face
For you never earned that right
She said
In the first fucking place
Real love isn’t all poetry
With hearts and fancy flowers
Sometimes it’s just about making do
And putting in the hours
