It was always wreckless
And possibly quite mad
But I have fallen
In love with you
In each lifetime I’ve had
Xxx
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
It was always wreckless
And possibly quite mad
But I have fallen
In love with you
In each lifetime I’ve had
Xxx
Don’t you dare
Question me
Like you’re
Any fucking better
I know
What you both did
Don’t forget
I read her letter
The girl you knew is gone
She said
Killed by love itself
You don’t need to tell me
He said
For I dug her grave myself
If no one saw
But us two
Then who is to say
It happened
If we promise
Never to tell
Then no one else
Need be saddened
Love me
Or leave me
I really couldn’t care
For either way
I’ll just decay
In misery and despair
There’s no point in us speaking
I don’t want to argue anymore
If you choose not to hear me
Then despite loving you dearly
I’m walking out the door
Life would have been so different
Had you never moved away
We could still be together now
Enjoying every day
But that’s not what happened, is it?
When you fucked off and left
Saying that you needed more
Couldn’t stand to feel oppressed
Well I’m glad things worked out for you
That all your stars aligned
But what I cannot ever forgive
Is that you left me behind
If you could find a way to forgive me
She said
Perhaps that’s where we could start
As I honestly never meant
She said
To be so careless with your heart
I’m arrogant and self obsessed
She said
And that will never change
Then I’ll be blessed to see
He said
If you can be re-trained
It was always your choice
To intentionality decieve
Just like it was mine
To pack up and leave
I’m not talking to you anymore
She said
You’re being ridiculously petty
If you’d have listened in the first place
He said
We could have been in bed already
I don’t miss you at all
She said
In fact I never have
Just dispense with all the bullshit
He said
‘Cause it really is a drag
If you no longer love each other
Then what’s the fucking point
Just staying together to destroy each other
Noses permanently out of joint
Why not just call it quits
As it’s clear neither of you tries
That has to be better than being miserable
Until one of the two of you dies
You were responsible
For your actions
Just like I was
For mine
It’s just a shame
You tried shifting the blame
And couldn’t play nicely
At the time
While everyone else enjoys
Their happily ever after
I sit here alone
And wait for mine
Though I’m no longer sure
If my heart is as pure
As it was once
Upon a time
By chance
I met
Your wife today
And she seems
Really nice
If only
She knew
What I do
Her smile
Would turn to ice
I’m really not that keen
She said
On all this wishy washy romance
So if I just say what I mean
He said
You’re telling me there’s a chance?
There’s nothing left to say
She said
Now my future is on track
You once took my breath away
She said
But now I want it back
I know
That I’m not
Quite ready
Thoughts of him
Still rife
In my head
But if you
Come around
Happy to be
The rebound
Then I won’t kick you
Out of bed
I know
It comes across
Like I am rapacious
Between the sheets
But believe me
When I say
My tongue is firmly
In my cheek
So now you’re back
You think I’ll crack
And give you my heart again
Well I’ve changed tack
And jumped into the sack
With your (much fitter) best friend
I used to think
You were the one
Now I’m just glad
That you’ve gone
As I watched you
From the window
Hands pressed
Against the glass
My tears fell
As I knew full well
You were never
Coming back
You want more
I want less
We can’t end this
Without making a mess
If it wasn’t you
It would have been someone else
I’m not that fussy
I always knew
That I loved you
But never if
You loved me back
Why don’t you actually help me
She said
Instead of standing there like a prick
Perhaps if you actually involved me
He said
I wouldn’t feel like such a dick
If I knew then
What I know now
I wouldn’t have let you stay
I’d have made sure
You saw the worst of me
And done my best
To push you away
We’re going on a journey
She said
So be sure to pack your case
Maybe if we leave now
He said
The past we can erase
If I can’t give you
All of my heart
Would you be happy
With just one piece?
You can have the bit
That’s dead to me
And I’ll keep the part
That beats
Sometimes
I wonder
if there
was ever
a me
before
you
