Post Valentines, another dance please
It's been awhile, and I think I'm turning senile
april came and went when you shook my hand and left
Still, I'm waiting outside with season enders and page benders
and memory of you encapsuled in blue
So just be the goon like everyone else was
he, him and he
Taking a chance, and then taking off
the love that broke me down into ventholin and a wheezy cough
the tickles, the waves, the screams-
and the demons who burst the heart seams
I don't believe that you ever really loved me.
Because I'm sore from the fights, hair tangled and throat tight
I choked back the words and forced a hello
just to watch as you turned to go.
Honestly-
he's not the least bit like you, manner and speech
he's so much more
and I breathe easy, under my sheets
So I'll sit in my yard, light fireworks and watch the explosions in the sky
I've sat on electric lines long before you told me those lies
I'll smile, and laugh at your life
and watch you from hero-
to zero
Happy Valentine's.
